An ode to basketball, a true tribute to maximum competitiveness and the desire to win and create a legacy. This is the only way to describe the encounter led by Boston Celtics y Philadelphia 76ersin which both franchises presented their credentials to be NBA champions, but which also saw the best version of two men bent on running to be MVP, as they are Jayson Tatum y Joel Embiidwho were protagonists of a tremendous ending.

If there is one word that can define these Celtics, it is consistency and reliability. There is a huge sense of identity in a team where players like Brogdon and White are effective counterbalances to Tatum’s inordinate offensive talent and can make Brown’s absence forget. Although there is a key to the correct evolution of these Boston Celtics it is the defensive solvency that they display, with Horford and Williams establishing themselves as key players in the paint.

With this victory they extend their advantage and become clear favorites to continue leading the Eastern Conference. But above all, they make it clear that they are going to compete to the end and that they have those champion intangibles necessary to win a ring. Joel Embiid he scored 41 points and was about to send the game to overtime, but just a few tenths of a second ruined all his effort and good work for some Philadelphia 76ers that keep growing.
