The 76ers had the advantage in this series and were taken by surprise against the Celtics. The 76ers gave up 95 points and scored only 86 in return.

James Harder and Tyrese Maxey continue to contribute for the 76ers but they need to build equally on their defense if they want to win this series. The 76ers are playing this game on the road and they must do everything possible to win.
