PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers will look to move forward into Game 4 on Sunday night looking to even the series up at 2-2 before the series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday. The Sixers would, obviously, not like to go back on the road facing elimination as this is an important game for them on Sunday.

A key piece to Philadelphia's success will be second-year forward Justin Edwards. The versatile wing player is somebody who gives the Sixers a little bit of everything from shooting to playmaking to strong perimeter defense. If Philadelphia is to walk out of Xfinity Mobile Arena with a win on Sunday, then Edwards will play a big part of it.

"It’s all about us, honestly," Edwards said at shootaround. "We had the game (Game 3). A couple rebounds late in the game. That’s something we gotta clean up. That’s our main focus coming into today’s game."

With that being said, one has to wonder how the Sixers clean up those mistakes. To Edwards' point, they had Game 3 in their hands and just let it slip away. If Philadelphia grabs a rebound or two down the stretch, then it's a different result.

"We just gotta lock in more," Edwards explained. "We know what we have to do. That’s really the biggest thing."

Then, there's the Celtics star duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The two stars had 25 points each and really took the game over down the stretch. In Edwards' position, he knows he has to stay steady and keep it pushing to the next possession against players of their caliber.

"They’re superstars," Edwards said. "Those guys are really good. So, you can’t really think like that because if you think like that, then they've got you already. It’s a miss or make league. So, if they make shots, kudos to them and just move on."

Game 4 is set for 7 p.m. EDT on Sunday from Philadelphia.
