The Jays Take Over
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown each scored 25 points as the Boston Celtics silenced a raucous Philadelphia crowd with a clinical 108-100 road victory in Game 3. The Celtics reclaimed the series lead at 2-1 after dropping Game 2 on the road.
When it mattered most, Boston's championship pedigree showed. Tatum and Brown combined for 19 of the Celtics' 29 fourth-quarter points, systematically dismantling Philadelphia's defense down the stretch.
Key Performers
Tatum's Dagger
With the game hanging in the balance in the fourth quarter, Jayson Tatum hit a step-back three-pointer that effectively sealed the game. It was the kind of shot that haunts opposing fanbases — and Philly fans know it well. Tatum has a history of delivering in this building, and Game 3 was no different.
Payton Pritchard provided the spark off the bench with five three-pointers, stretching Philadelphia's defense and opening up driving lanes for Tatum and Brown.
Maxey's Heroics Fall Short
Tyrese Maxey was magnificent in defeat, scoring a game-high 31 points and keeping the Sixers within striking distance throughout. But without consistent secondary scoring, Maxey's individual brilliance wasn't enough to overcome Boston's balanced attack.
What's Next
Game 4 stays in Philadelphia. The Sixers need to win to avoid going down 3-1 in the series. For Boston, another road win would put them in a dominant position heading back to TD Garden.
This is a classic rivalry — Celtics vs. Sixers never disappoints in the postseason. Stream it live and feel every momentum swing.
