BOSTON — The Boston Celtics had a chance to eliminate the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, yet their offense completely collapsed down the stretch, resulting in a 113-97 loss in Game 5 of the first-round series.
The Green Team finished with just 11 points in the final frame and everything looked difficult for them. Celtics star Jayson Tatum still managed 24 points and 16 rebounds in the loss while fellow star guard Jaylen Brown had 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Although Boston usually thrives on the margins, it lost the turnover battle (12-10), didn't hit as many 3-pointers (11 to the Sixers' 15), and recorded 0 blocks while the 76ers notched 3. All of these little things added up to a rough shooting night and a home loss that makes the series 3-2 in Boston's favor.
