Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics game preview:<\/p>\n

In the 76ers’ Game 6 victory, Tyrese Maxey<\/a> scored a game-high 30 points, and Joel Embiid<\/a> nearly posted a triple-double (19 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists).Nine-time All-Star Paul George<\/a> added 23 points, and rookie VJ Edgecombe<\/a> had 14 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia’s “Big 3” of Maxey, Embiid and George played only 21 games together during the regular season because of injuries and suspensions. The 76ers were 11-10 in those games but are 2-1 in the playoffs with the trio on the floor.<\/p>\n

He is averaging 26.3 points per game during the playoffs, which is tied for third with Jalen Brunson<\/a> (behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>‘s 33.8 ppg and Cade Cunningham<\/a>‘s 32.6 ppg).<\/p>\n

Embiid is averaging 26.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 7.3 apg over his three games since returning from emergency appendectomy surgery.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been playing these guys for so long, I\u2019m tired of losing to them,” Embiid said about the Celtics in Game 7. “We have a chance to accomplish something special.”<\/p>\n

In his 16th season, George has elevated his performance in the playoffs, shooting a team-high 54.3% on 3-pointers after 39.2% 3-point shooting in the regular season. He will be playing in his sixth Game 7 and his first since 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul has been really, really good,” Maxey said. “He’s been consistent. He’s been a great voice, a great leader for all of us, and we appreciate him.”<\/p>\n

For two games in a row, the 76ers perimeter defense has given the Celtics trouble. <\/p>\n

The Celtics have been plagued by poor shooting in thier past two losses, shooting 12 of 41 (29.3%) on 3-pointers in the Game 6 loss. They’ve been below 30% from distance in all three losses.<\/p>\n

Boston was among the best 3-point shooting teams during the regular season, ranking third in makes (15.5 per game) and eighth in percentage (36.7%). The Celtics are leading in the playoffs with 16 3-pointers per game (averaging more 20 per game in their three wins and 12 in their losses).<\/p>\n

Jayson Tatum is expected to play in the eighth Game 7 of his career (Boston is 5-2 in the previous seven) after a calf injury limited his playing time in Game 6.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve played 130-some-odd playoff games,” said Tatum,w ho is averaging 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in Game 7s. “To say it\u2019s going to Game 7, no, I\u2019m not bummed. I was out for 50 weeks. I wasn\u2019t able to play basketball. So I get another opportunity to play the game that I love.”<\/p>\n

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said adjusting to Embiid will be a key.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, this series has changed once Embiid came back,” Mazzulla said. “I think anytime a player comes back in one game, it\u2019s different. They\u2019ve found an identity and we have to be able to adjust to that identity that they found and get our identity for Game 7.\u201d<\/p>\n
