Bring on Philly. The Boston Celtics finally finished off the Atlanta Hawks, winning the opening-round series in six games with a 128-120 victory. Now, the Celtics can turn their attention to the well-rested Philadelphia 76ers.
That was evident in the closing minutes against the Hawks, who had pulled off an improbable comeback in the previous game at Boston to extend the series.
By making quick work of the Nets, third-seeded Philadelphia has been able to give Embiid some extra time to rest his ailing right knee. The 76ers haven't played since last Saturday. Boston won three of four meetings, but the margin was single digits in every game. The Celtics finished just three games ahead of Philadelphia in the conference standings.
