NBA Play-offs: Boston redemption in Game 2, Phila surrenders

Embiid’s return has not brought 76ers luck

After losing, badly, Game 1, Boston reacted promptly in the second act of the series with Philadelphia. The Celtics, in front of their own audience, won Game 2 with a dry 121-87, dominating the game. Decisive was the third part, won by the hosts by a 35-16 margin.

Boston thanked the excellent performance of Brown, who finished with 25 points (best scorer of the night). At home 76ers fresh MVP Embiid returns to the court, finishing with 15 total points. Harden, wonderful in Game 1 with 45 points, is not on his day: 12 points with a horrid 2/14 from the field. Now the series moves to Philadelphia.
