Boston Celtics – statistics & current form

The Celtics acted very weak at first in the last meeting, but improved especially after the break. Marcus Smart also had a chance to win in overtime.

But his successful three-pointer came a few tenths of a second too late and thus did not lead to a buzzer-beater for Boston. The basketball players from the Bean Town will now also rely on the home bonus: Head coach Joe Mazzulla’s team has decided three of the past four home meetings with Philly.

Philadelphia 76ers – Statistics & current form

The Sixers showed nerves of steel in the last game with the extra-time win. However, there is a question mark behind Joel Embiid. The new MVP remained unusually pale especially in crunch time and let himself be duped several times.

James Harden, on the other hand, made it clear that he is back in full form after two weak games, although this was also due to a weaker defensive performance by the Celtics this time. “The Beard” recorded 42 points and the decisive dagger just before the end of overtime for Philly’s victory!

In addition, it was Harden who already in the regular playing time with a floater secured the equalizer and thus the extra time for his team. More clutch thus did not go from his point of view!
