The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers meet Sunday for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series, with Boston holding a 2–1 lead after a hard-fought Game 3 win in Philadelphia.

Boston regained control of the series with a 108–100 Game 3 victory, powered by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who each scored 25 points, including clutch buckets late to seal the win. The Celtics closed strong in the fourth quarter, with Tatum scoring 11 of his points in the final frame as Boston executed better down the stretch.

This bounce-back performance gave the Celtics a 2–1 series edge after dropping Game 2 and reinforced their ability to rely on star power in tight playoff situations.

Philadelphia has shown it can compete in stretches, particularly when controlling tempo and getting efficient scoring from Joel Embiid and the supporting cast, but late-game execution has been an issue.

Game 3 slipped away despite a competitive effort, as the 76ers were unable to match Boston’s shot-making in the closing minutes. As noted in recent NBA playoff coverage, the series has been defined by momentum swings and physical defense, with both teams trading control through the first three games.

Game 4 now becomes the swing game; Philadelphia can even the series at home, while Boston has a chance to take a commanding 3–1 lead heading back to TD Garden.

This is a great NBA matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
