The Boston Celtics evened the score in the Eastern Conference Semifinals Wednesday night, earning a loud 121-87 Game 2 victory and knotting the series at one game apiece with the Philadelphia 76ers. A 34-point victory helps erase some of the frustrations that came from Monday’s Game 1 clunker, and now the action heads down I-95 to Philly this weekend.
The Sixers welcomed back newly-minted MVP Joel Embiid into the fold, who is dealing with an LCL injury and missed Game 1 entirely. This obviously changed things on both ends for Philadelphia in a very big way, who traded spacing for more muscle and size. Embiid ended the game with 15 points and 3 rebounds, as well as 5 blocks, simply not enough to help the Sixers grab a win.
