Jayson Tatum released an XXL performance. Just two weeks after Stephen Curry’s 50 points in Game 7 between the Warriors and Sacramento, the Boston player improved on that record by scoring 51 points on Sunday night against Philadelphia. Combined with 25 points from Jaylen Brown, this performance allowed the Celtics to qualify for the Conference final, where they will find Miami who defeated the New York Knicks (4-2).
The Sixers missed their subject, including the team’s two stars Joel Embiid and James Harden. The pivot, MVP of the regular season, was extremely imprecise in shooting and finished the match with only fifteen small points, far from his usual standards. The address also fished for the American leader, who finished the meeting with nine points to his credit. Two delicate performances which left no chance for the Sixers, completely overwhelmed in the third quarter.
“James and I cannot win alone, reacted the pivot. It is for this reason that basketball is played five against five. We need everyone to find a way to become better. An admission of failure therefore for Phily, who seemed perfectly equipped to head for the title.
For its part, Boston sends a message and poses as a serious contender for the title. The Celtics will still have to watch out for Miami and Jimmy Butler, in exceptional form since the start of these playoffs. In the West, it is the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers who will compete for the place in the NBA Finals.
