Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe carry the 7-seed Philadelphia 76ers into the second round after a 109-100 game 7 thriller over Jaylen Brown and the 2-seed Boston Celtics. The Sixers’ trio combined for 87 points in a low-scoring game, beating Boston for the first time in a playoff series since 1982. Paul George added 13 points as the only double-digit scorer for the 76ers, while Jayson Tatum missed the game due to injury. Philadelphia will face Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks in the semifinals. The PHLY Sixers podcast reacts to the Phily’s improbable comeback.
