Let’s go for Game 3 between the 76ers and the Celtics! The series starts again on the side of the Wells Fargo Center and the formation of Philly returns with the advantage of the field after having imposed during the first round. However, the C’s pounded the table with a 34-point success in Game 2. The 76ers could not cope with the collective energy of the Boston players, despite the return of Joel Embiid . Indeed, the MVP did not weigh in the balance at all and scored only 15 points in 27 minutes. James Harden did not do better with only 12 points (2/14 on shots) and the least we can say is that the days go by but are not alike for the “bearded man”. To say how monstrous the Celtics have been collectively, Jayson Tatum only scored 7 points after having a foul problem. It is therefore 1-1 and it is very difficult to know how the rest of the series will unfold. Indeed, even though Philly has the advantage of the field, the Bostonians clearly showed the muscles in the last game. Will they be able to keep this level of intensity throughout the series and especially to achieve this in hostile lands? In the meantime, this match will be decisive for the rest of the series and we can expect a big battle!
