Boston Celtics advance into the next round of the playoffs. Boston Celtics competed first-round series sweep over Philadelphia with a win in the fourth game of first-round of playoffs.


This is the first time Philadelphia 76ers was swept by any team since 1989. Boston Celtics also registered their first series sweep over Philadelphia 76ers in their 15 playoff series.    


Ben Simmons' absence for Philadelphia gave them a huge hole. He is a points guard and the point guard's position is very important in the team. He is not a good shooter but he can guard any guards in the league and he is a very good player in the post and a very good passer. If he played in this series, A result would be different.


Joel Embiid did his best in this series and in this game, He scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in this game but it wasn't enough to give a win. But in team sports, one man alone can't do for a team on his own. There are other players who need to step up for the team for team's success. 


Boston Celtics are the example of teamwork. In a series, all players supported each other with their abilities for Boston. In some games, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown did their best and other players gave them support and in some games, Kemba shines just like today's game and he got support from other players. It is always hard to win a title while depending on one player. That is why Joel Embiid and Philadelphia swept by Boston Celtics.

Last seconds in the third quarter, Jayson Tatum drained a deep 3 which gave 12 points lead to the Boston Celtics and from here Boston took command of a game. Boston made 12-0 run in the last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter.
