However, Boston is one of the very few teams in the league that has a relative answer for Embiid and that matters. The content on this page is for informational purposes only.

The Celtics have one of the largest gaps between their actual and expected Effective Field Goal Percentage and that is because of their quality of shot-getters.

The Sixers and the Celtics faced off for the third time this season on Saturday night.

Joel Embiid and the Sixers fell just short of a miraculous finish Saturday night and dropped a 110-107 game to the Celtics at Wells Fargo Center.

Again, though, the Sixers went to Embiid in the clutch and got what they needed. Tatum and Brown are always tough to handle, but the Sixers appear capable of defending that duo relatively well. Al Horford tends to be sturdy and smart against Embiid in the post, but the Sixers added some useful offensive variety in the second quarter. If the Sixers face Boston in the postseason, they’ll hope Melton’s ability to “guard up” is beneficial. The Sixers put Embiid alongside four bench players late in the third quarter and that unit was ineffective. Reed got stripped going up for a layup, Derrick White nailed a three to give the Celtics an 85-78 edge, and Tucker replaced Reed only 70 seconds into the fourth quarter. Harris scored the third quarter’s first five points and threes by De’Anthony Melton and Harden extended the Sixers’ lead to 67-52. Tyrese Maxey converted a driving hoop, Harden assisted a Jalen McDaniels layup and drew two free throws, and the Sixers were in slightly better shape when Embiid checked back in. He subbed Reed out and played Tucker at the five for the next 82 seconds. Boston closed the quarter on a 9-2 run, though, and a Robert Williams III baseline jumper at the buzzer cut the Celtics’ deficit to 30-28. He remained active and effective as a rebounder, breaking his previous season high of 10 late in the second quarter. The Sixers pushed the pace as a team in the early going, for better and for worse.

Jayson Tatum delivered the final blow, but he was helped by supporting actors along the way. Meanwhile, lack of depth will be a major concern in the ...

The Sixers reserve power forward failed to score for the sixth time this season. Meanwhile, the Sixers had to get tough buckets. The Sixers coaching staff needs to find a way to keep Harris involved through four quarters. He made 3 of 6 shots in the final quarter. Tobias Harris was hot early, scoring 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting in the first quarter. And that happens every season to the Sixers. The Celtics led, 27-12, in bench points, and that doesn’t show how wide the scoring disparity was. But the Celtics know how to defend. Tyrese Maxey scored six of his eight points in the fourth quarter. Lack of depth will be a major concern in the postseason. This time, it was former Sixer Al Horford who drained five mostly wide-open threes As a team, Boston is averaging 16 three-pointers in three victories this season against the Sixers. Embiid’s biggest takeaway from this three-point loss is the Sixers are right there with Boston.

The Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 110-107 on Saturday in a back-and-forth game that ended up tied with 5.9 seconds remaining. It was Boston ball and ...
