Boston Celtics squandered a significant lead in Game five against the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, losing 113-97 and forcing a decisive Game six. Despite a double-digit lead in the second half, the Celtics watched it disappear as Phillys stars took over. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with impressive performances, while Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown struggled in the fourth quarter.
