A win for the Celtics would set up a rematch in the Eastern Conference finals with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The only thing delaying it is one more victory against a Philadelphia 76ers team intent on not becoming the latest to join a dubious National Basketball Association club. Philadelphia is one loss away from becoming No. 131.

It may be too much to ask, but the Sixers are going to need another game like they got out of McConnell in Game 4.

"I represent the underdog season", Mill told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

As Embiid talked, Morris used his hand to toggle between the sign for three and the one for zero, signaling that Boston was up 3-0 in the series.

The Boston Celtics missed out on their chance to sweep the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs on Monday. The Celtics have yet to lose a game at home this postseason (6-0). McConnell will get the start again in Boston for Game 5 as his team tries to stave off elimination for the second-straight game.

"We just gotta beat it", Rozier said of Philadelphia's physicality. "They are an A+ to me, and they are versatile in a way that we haven't experienced this year".

Brown, the team's usual starter in the regular season and the playoffs, has come off the bench in the last four games after suffering a right hamstring injury in Boston's Game 7 win over Milwaukee. Eastern Daylight Time at 19,500-seat TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, May 9 - 5 p.m.

"We have to protect our home", Horford said. He'll pick one each weekday to answer, then we'll take the discussion to the comments.

"We want to go back to Philadelphia". Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons both notched double-doubles in Game 4, but they combined to shoot 12-of-30 and committed six turnovers. Against the Heat, the Sixers hit about 36 percent of their 3-pointers (57 of 157) in the five games.

KEEP AN EYE ON: McConnell.

In Game 4, the Philadelphia 76ers found new life thanks to T.J. McConnell getting the start.

Boston may be without backup point guard Shane Larkin for Game 5. Something has gotten into the young minds of the superstars and Brett Brown does not have a clue on how to overcome the adjustments made by Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens.
