Celtics vs Sixers Game Four: Road to Victory

On April 26, Boston Celtics head to Philly tonight for Game 4 of their first round playoff series, leading two games to one.

They blew out the Sixers 123-91 in Game 1, dropped Game 2-1-11 to 97, then stole home core back with A, 108-100 win in Game 3.

Tipoff is 7pm Eastern on Peacock and NBC, with the Celtics chasing that 3-1 series lead.

After splitting in Boston, the road proved no problem last time, as Pritchard, Tatum, White and Shireman locked down the final minutes to seal it.

The Sixers boasts the league's top-clutch defense from the regular season, but Boston outscored them 11-4 down the stretch.

Historically, Celtics owned Philly in playoffs, 68 wins to 51.

No major injuries for Boston White shook off a necktweek. Brown's ankle is fine. Philly's hurting though, Joel embied still doubtful after appendix surgery, Kelly Ubreh questionable with a Dr. Soreness.

Key battles include Derek White versus Tyrese Maxi, who's been hot but inefficient, and Jalen Brown guarding VJ Edgecomb, who they contained in.

Game 3. Defense wins it all here. Boston held Philly under 44% shooting in two of three games.

They got a crash board, moved the ball for open looks, and cut turnovers after 17 in game 3.

Teams up free one, closed out 95% of series, so no complacency on this road trip against the hostile Philly crowd.

Expect coaching chess between Mozilla and Nurse, plus whatever the refs bring with Tiven, Maloy, and Lindsay on the floor.

Celtics stay locked in, they could wrap this up quick and roll into the next round.
