Embiid back in after receiving his MVP award. White shuts down Harris two trips down early. Tatum and Brown still attacking the rim with Embiid there, as it's a clear weakness for Philly. The standard insta-foul when Grant Williams enters the game. The Celtics lead by 6 at the quarter break. Smart and Brogdon with a flurry of baskets. Embiid blocks Brown at the rim, his fourth block. He soon gets another, but Boston up 8 at the half. Nothing going down in the 3rd for the Sixers, the Celtics kick it out to 20+ with a barrage of 3's, by Brogdon in particular. Boston up a game-winning 27-points at 3-quarter time, leading to 4th quarter garbage time. Boston shot better from the field and 3, Philly 20% from there. The Celtics +5 on the boards and took better care of the ball, with just 6 turnovers. Brogdon with 23 points and 6 boards off the bench, with no turnovers. Brown 25 points and 2 steals. White and Smart 15 points apiece. For Philly, Embiid 15 points and 5 blocks. Harden just 2 of 14 from the field in this one.
