Celtics Dominate, Take 3-1 Series Lead

It's April 27th. Welcome in. This is Boston Celtics News today, where team coverage meets AI.

Joel and Bede stepped back on the court for the Philadelphia 76ers, less than three weeks after his appendectomy,

but it didn't spark the win they needed, against Boston and game 4 of the first round.

The Celtics dominated with a 129-96 blowout, grabbing a commanding three games to one series lead.

Boston's bench exploded, with Peyton Pritchard dropping 32 points, including six threes,

while Jason Tatum added 30 points, five from. Deep and 11 assists.

Jalen Brown shipped in 20 points in seven boards, keeping Philly's defense on its heels all night.

The 76ers clearly felt the rest from MV's return, as stars like Tyree's Maxine deferred early,

taking just three shots in the first half. Philly shot a brutal 33% from the field,

and missed most of their threes before halftime, coughing up nine offensive rebounds too.

Boston too. Embed finished strong with 26 points and 10 rebounds on nine of 21 shooting,

Maxi heated up late for 22, and Paul George had 16. But the early deficit was too deep,

with Boston up 21 at the break. Now the series heads back to Boston for game 5 on Tuesday,

and coach Nick Nurse has to rally his squad. Fast, get everyone clicking on both ends, or

Philly's playoff run ends way sooner than planned.
