The 76ers put up a good fight during the first half of the game; however, the Celtics took over in the second half, beating the 76ers 110-106 on Sunday. The Celtics' win over the 76ers marks the first sweep in 15 playoff series meetings between the teams. Jayson Tatum once again had a phenomenal game, scoring 28 points to go along with a game-high 15 rebounds and four assists.
Kemba Walker, who's playing in his first playoff series with Boston, also had a spectacular game, scoring a game-high 32 points while shooting 8-for-15 from the field. The Celtics will now move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals to play either the Toronto Raptors or the Brooklyn Nets. The Raptors currently have a 3-0 lead over the Nets and Game 4 will take place on Sunday.
