The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 109–100 on May 2, 2026, at TD Garden, with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combining for 64 points to power the visitor's upset victory. Philadelphia's offense proved decisive, shooting 47.6 percent from the field and converting 11 three-pointers while generating 25 assists, significantly outpacing Boston's 19 helpers. The Celtics' third-quarter collapse proved fatal—they managed just 25 points in that frame while Philadelphia erupted for 33—as Boston's defense surrendered a 111.1 defensive rating for the evening. Jayson Brown led the home team with 33 points and Derrick White added 26, but the Celtics' 39.8 field-goal percentage and 13 three-pointers fell short of matching Philadelphia's offensive efficiency. The 109 final points fell well below the 204.5 Vegas total, suggesting a defensive grind that Boston ultimately lost despite holding Philadelphia to just 21 fourth-quarter points. The loss drops Boston further behind in the standings and signals Philadelphia's growing postseason momentum.
