The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics will face off again todayfor Game 4 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Brett Brown’s team canceled yesterday’s practice after their tough loss102-94 in Game 3. Here, you’ll find everything there is to know about this exciting matchup.

Joel Embiid had yet another strong outing gone to waste. He scored 30 points with 13 rebounds, 2 three-pointers, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. Yet the Celtics beat the Sixers 102-94 behind some clutch defense.

Kemba Walker was huge for the Celtics with 24 points, carrying the offensive load for most of the game on a rough shooting night for Jayson Tatum (6/19, 2/9 from beyond the arc). Jaylen Brown also chipped in 21 points in 41 minutes.

Now, Brett Brown’s pupils must do whatever it takes to avoid being swept by Boston but Ben Simmons’ absence and Al Horford’s poor performances are making it quite difficult to match up with Boston’s depth.
