Jayson Tatum torched the Sixers for 51 points on Sunday and the team's season ended with a 112-88 Game 7 loss to the Celtics at TD Garden, NBCSPhilly has the game recap.
Both teams stuck with the same starters as in Game 6.
Tucker finished the first quarter with 11 points, which was the second most he scored in an entire game during the regular season.The Sixers managed to outscore the Celtics by three points in their first stint without Embiid. To close the first half, the Sixers were determined to get Embiid touches on essentially every possession. While the MVP increased his physicality and drew five foul shots late in the second quarter, his decisions when double teamed weren’t always sharp and Al Horford played sound isolation defense.
Tatum kept nailing both well-contested and comfortable shots, including a tough three over Embiid and a pull-up triple against the Sixers’ zone. He deserves credit for sinking a bunch of jumpers that no defense could stop.
