The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 113–97 on April 28 at TD Garden, with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey leading a dominant offensive performance that fell short of the 214.5-point Vegas total. Embiid scored 33 points while Maxey added 25 as Philadelphia shot 50 percent from the field and made 15 three-pointers, compared to Boston's 40.4 percent shooting and 11 threes. The 76ers' third quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Celtics 35–29 to seize control; Philadelphia finished with a 122.7 offensive rating and held Boston to 100.9, a stark differential that underscored the visitors' superior ball movement and shot selection. Jayson Tatum led Boston with 24 points and Jaylen Brown contributed 22, but the Celtics' 12 turnovers and 49 rebounds—seven fewer than Philadelphia's 47—reflected their inability to control the game's tempo. The 76ers' third-quarter surge and 50 percent efficiency suggest they have developed the offensive consistency needed for a deep playoff run.
