Ahead of Game 7 of Sixers-Celtics, Doc Rivers gave his take on the outcome of Game 6.
The Philadelphia 76ers had a golden opportunity to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals earlier this week. With a 3-2 lead in their series against the Boston Celtics, Philly had the chance to land a knockout blow at home in front of their raucous fans. Instead, they fell down by double-digits in the first half before rallying and leading with less than five minutes to go in the game.
And then, their offense stalled out, Jayson Tatum came to life, and Boston was able to force a Game 7 in their own building with a 95-86 win. The game was there for Philly to take, but a number of missed shots that you’d normally expect the Sixers to make just did not go in.
