The Philadelphia 76ers have done it again—staying alive in dramatic fashion by forcing a Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. After trailing 3-1 in the series, the Sixers roared back with a 106-93 victory in Game 6, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Now, all eyes are on the decisive showdown.
Tyrese Maxey led the charge with 30 points, while Paul George added 23, and Joel Embiid contributed a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. But the big story heading into Game 7 is the injury to Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who left Game 6 in the third quarter with a stiff knee. He's listed as questionable for tonight's game, and while he's likely to play, the pain could impact his performance.
Jaylen Brown scored 18 points for Boston, and Tatum added 17 before exiting. The Celtics will need other players to step up if Tatum is limited. The series is tied 3-3, and it all comes down to this one game.
So, what time is the Sixers game tonight? Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. EST. The Celtics are favored by 6 points, though that line dropped by two after Tatum's injury news. The Sixers have all the momentum, but based on how this series has swung, expect the Celtics to bounce back. Prediction: Celtics 108, Sixers 101.
