The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 108-100 on Friday to win Game 3 and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown each finished with 25 points in the win. I just missed being a part of moments like that where it's just a back-and-forth game, said Tatum following the game. Brown added that Tatum is getting stronger since coming back from an Achilles injury.

He's been incrementally getting better and stronger and getting more physical, Brown said. You can see downhill, he's getting downhill at a higher level than he did when he started. But, we do it as a team. We win as a team and lose as a team. Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey finished with 31 points and six assists for the Sixers. Sixers head coach Nick Nurse pointed to the Celtics' offensive rebounds as the difference in the game. I think they hit four or five 3s off offensive rebounds, so that's kind of doubly bad, Nurse said. It's a battle out there. We knew that was a big, probably the number one key coming into the series, and we probably didn't do enough. Game 4 takes place on Sunday. Joel Embiid was upgraded to doubtful on Thursday before getting ruled out.
