Jayson Tatum didn't want any overtime. The Boston Celtics All-Star stopped on a dime and pulled up for a nasty top-of-the-key triple to seal the win over the Sixers in Philadelphia.

Check out the clutch shot below, including Joel Embiid's unreal full-court heave to tie the game that was just a split second too late.

There was no ending more fitting to a Celtics-Sixers battle that had true playoff intensity. Embiid apparently knew he threw up the shot too late and didn't share the excitement that reverberated throughout the Wells Fargo Center.

Late shot aside, Joel Embiid did all he could to will the Sixers to victory. He poured in 41 points and 12 rebounds along with five blocks to lead Philly in all categories.

But Embiid's efforts weren't enough to overcome a balanced attack from the Celtics' starting lineup. All five players scored in double figures, led by Jaylen Brown's 26 points and Tatum's 18-13 night.
