The 76ers led by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter as home fans booed the Celtics, and can close out the series and advance to the conference finals when they host Game 6 on Thursday night. Philadelphia hasn't reached that stage of the playoffs since 2001.It was the third straight 30-point game in the series for the reigning MVP, who used his full array of offensive weapons to pick apart the Celtics defence. He also had seven rebounds, four blocks and three 3-pointers.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 36 points but was just 11-of-27 from the field. Jaylen Brown finished with 24 points. The Celtics went 12-of-38 from the 3-point line.If there's any solace for Boston, it's that the Celtics survived this exact scenario last year in this round, overcoming a 3-2 deficit to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks.
A quick flurry by the Celtics cut the deficit to 11, but Philadelphia responded with a 10-2 run to push it back up to 102-83.
