Philadelphia kept its season alive with a stunning 113-97 win in Game 5 at TD Garden. Joel Embiid delivered his best game of the series with 33 points and eight assists in just his second game back from appendectomy recovery, while Tyrese Maxey added 25 points and 10 rebounds. The Sixers outscored Boston 28-11 in the fourth quarter, turning a one-point deficit entering the final frame into a runaway victory.

Boston now looks to regroup after a late collapse cost it a chance to close the series at home. Jayson Tatum posted 24 points and 16 rebounds in Game 5, while Jaylen Brown added 22, but the Celtics shot just 3-for-22 in the fourth quarter and failed to make any of their final 14 field-goal attempts. Boston has listed no major injuries entering Game 6, so the focus shifts to execution and matching Philadelphia’s desperation.
The key storyline on Thursday is whether Embiid can deliver another dominant performance and send the series back to Boston, or if the Celtics’ depth and experience can steady themselves in a hostile road environment. With momentum suddenly shifted, Game 6 becomes one of the most important matchups of the opening round.
This is a great NBA matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
