Celtics Outplay 76ers in Eastern Conference Finals

Jayson Tatum Leads Boston to Victory

Philadelphia falls short despite star duo's efforts

The Boston Celtics dominated the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, advancing to the conference finals with a decisive 115-101 victory. Jayson Tatum led the charge for Boston, scoring 29 points and grabbing nine rebounds.

Joel Embiid and James Harden, the 76ers' star duo, struggled to make an impact. Embiid finished with just 16 points on 5-of-16 shooting, while Harden went 2-of-9 from the field. The Celtics took advantage of Philadelphia's poor shooting, holding the 76ers to just 38% shooting from the field and 26% from three-point range.

The Celtics' victory marks the end of a disappointing season for the 76ers, who were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs for the third consecutive year. The Celtics, meanwhile, will advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2020.
