Sixers' Playoff Dreams Hang in Balance

On April 30, the Philadelphia Sixers pulled off a huge road win in Game 5, beating the Boston Celtics 113-97 at TD.

Garden, to cut the series deficit to three games to two.

Joel Embed, balled out, and their defense locked it down in the fourth quarter, keeping their playoff dreams alive.

Now they head into Game 6 tonight at home, in the Exfinity Mobile Arena, where they got to defend their court to force a winner.

To take all Game 7, back in Boston on Saturday, they dropped games three and four here pretty bad, including a 32-point loss, so the pressure is real.

Quentin Grimes talked after shoot around, saying the energy is high and the focus is locked in, just like last game.

He stressed they can't look ahead, its do or die, leave it all on the floor, especially since their home record wasn't lights out this season.

Meanwhile, expect the Celtics to come swing harder, they bounce back plenty under coach Joe Missoula.

Grimes knows Boston's prepping, so the Sixers need even more intensity to match that fire.

Tip off is at APM, Eastern Tonight, Sixers Rally or Season Over, straight up.
