- Tatum’s fourth-quarter threes lift Celtics in 95-86 victory
- Boston to host Philly on Sunday in winner-take-all Game 7
Jayson Tatum missed his first six three-pointers before he drilled two straight clutch ones late in the game that pushed the Celtics past the Philadelphia 76ers 95-86 on Thursday night to send the Eastern Conference semi-finals back to Boston for Game 7.
The defending conference champs are in familiar territory. Boston trailed 3-2 last season in the second round against Milwaukee before it won Game 6 on the road and the clincher at home.
