Mythical Jason Tatum sent them Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals!

After a balanced first half, the Boston team stepped on the gas in the third twelve minutes, where the individual score of the period was 33-10, thus “clearing” the qualification case early on!
In addition to Tatum’s incredible performance, he was also excellent Jaylen Brown with 25 points, with Al Horfod to offer huge help in the defensive part (6p., 10p., 3bl.), “turning off” essentially Joel Embiid!
For the defeated, the only one who was saved was Grace with 19 points, while both o Harden (9p, 7ass. 4/16 shooting), as well as this season’s MVP, Embed (15p., 8p., 5/22), disappointed with their appearance and failure…
The match:
The start of the game was nervous and quite misguided for both teams, with the 76ers relying on their very good defense and with… an unexpected hero PJ Tuckerthey went on an 8-2 run to overtake (10-15) at 6′. With the former ace of Aris, as well as the baskets of Harris and Embiid, the Sixers escaped at +9 (20-29)by Jason Tatum to keep the Celtics close to the score, closing out twelve minutes at 29-23.
The Sixers found easy points early in the second period, increasing the lead again at +9 (26-35) at 15′. Somewhere there came the Tatum’s competitive “explosion”.who with 14 points in the last five minutes of the period, not only overturned the score, but also sent the “Celts” to the locker room with in their favor 55-52!
And while everyone was waiting for the derby to continue in the second half, the Celtics had a completely different view! Actually, her team Boston… stepped on the unable to react Sixers, with him Tatum to take “fire”, giving one mythical appearance that will be remembered for years in the history of the NBA playoffs!
By Al Horford to “turn off” Joel Embiid on defense and Tatum to score in bursts (17 points in the 3rd quarter), the home team ran a unimaginable 18-0 run from midway through the third period, turning a fragile +7 (65-58) into an impressive +23 for 83-58! Span in which the Celtics aimed at 8 of 14 three-pointers, closing the third quarter at +26 for 88-62!
The fourth and final period had a procedural nature, with the Celtics not throwing any “turns”, even reaching the +30 (108-78)celebrating the victory with the spectacular 112-88!
The twelve minutes: 23-29, 55-52, 88-62, 112-88.
