Game 6 of the first-round NBA Playoffs series between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics is set for Thursday night, and the stakes couldn't be higher. After a stunning Game 5 loss at home, the Celtics are looking to close out the series on the road, while the 76ers aim to force a decisive Game 7.

The Sixers outscored the Celtics 28-11 in the fourth quarter, silencing the TD Garden crowd and proving they won't go down without a fight. Boston, which had bounced back impressively after dropping Game 2 with consecutive wins in Games 3 and 4, now faces another test of resilience. Can they regain their composure and finish the job, or will Philadelphia ride the momentum of a raucous home crowd to force a winner-take-all Game 7?
