Celtics forward Al Horford celebrates with guard Terry Rozier and forward Marcus Morris during the second half of Game 2 of the Conference Semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers at the TD Garden on Thursday
He's averaging 15.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game this postseason.
"I'm a very confident person every time I step on the court, that's not going to change", he said. A night earlier, Simmons scored a career-low one point in Philadelphia's 108-103 loss; he failed to make a field goal for the first time in his 88-game National Basketball Association career. However, nobody is wiggling free because the Celtics have been physical in their coverage by putting longer and stronger defenders to face both J.J.
"Once we got on that run we never looked back", Rozier said.
Meanwhile, Philly was mauling the Celtics on the boards and converting from downtown. (Redick) back into the game in the second period. Fans had visions of the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals and Paul Pierce jumping on a table.
Philadelphia's rookie sensation Ben Simmons vowed Friday, May 4, that he'd bounce back from his dismal performance in the 76ers' 108-103 National Basketball Association playoff loss to the Boston Celtics.
Ben Simmons was in full "it's not you, it's me" mode after his dud of a performance in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

IPL 2018: All-round KKR beat CSK at Eden Gardens
Against Mumbai Indians last week, Chennai finished with only 169 for 5 despite being 91 for 1 in 10 overs. Gill (57*) and skipper Dinesh Karthik (45*) came together with KKR needing 80 to win off 50 balls.
Simmons said he'd received "words of encouragement" from Sixers legend Allen Iverson, who reached out for a phone pep talk. And while Embiid feels he's unstoppable and is generally getting his, it's not pushing the team to victory.
There are other factors at play, such as Philadelphia's cold 3-point shooting, but that comes secondary to the total lack of production from its point guard. But Thursday night, it was anything but a fact. His players have responded when called upon. Brad Stevens only allowed Brett Brown to have a treat if he didn't act up. While Brown was noticeably hurting at times, he also threw down three big dunks and offered a boost of energy off the bench.
In the meantime, will the Celtics take a 3-0 lead when these two sides meet again.
The NY Mets also got off to a great start this season, but things have been going south of late. How we punched them in the first quarter, they punched us back. Boston shot less than 40 percent in road games last series, with Rozier posting a 29 percent mark.
Turnovers seem to come more easily on the road. Admittedly, a banged up Boston team who squeaked by the Bucks in seven is a fair underdog against a Philly team that cruised through the first round in five games. Don't expect that to persist. Even in the regular season, the Celtics faithful would cheer on Shane Larkin for grabbing a steal in a meaningless game against the Nets. But dismissing what happened Thursday as a two-off will be more hard. It's often a fool's errand on the road.
To Major League baseball and while the hotter than the sun Mookie Betts blasted another home run, his fourth in his last two games, Boston Red Sox starter David Price lost his third consecutive start and got rocked buy the Rangers in an 11-5 loss in Texas. Maybe. Maybe not. But it was the smart play, especially when you're coaching a young team on enemy turf. "That's about it. You've got to look ahead, look forward and get ready to play". It's 2-0 but it's still rather tenuous.
