Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the way with 27 and 23 points, while four other players scored double digits.

They recovered the home-court advantage with the 114-102 win, and fans had a lot to say about it.
This was a 6pt game with 6 mins left and Embiid and Harden refuse to be aggressive and take the game from Boston
This is why Philly can’t be taken seriously. They don’t get it done in crunch time

Boston keeps showing why they played in the 2022 NBA Finals, and these performances confirm that they’re the team to beat in the East this year.
Of course, the Sixers, Miami Heat, and New York Knicks all have great chances to compete against the Celtics.
However, when it comes to the favorite to win the East, the Celtics are one or two steps above their rivals.
This season is full of high expectations for them, and they’re responding.
The Sixers are dealing with some internal issues, especially regarding James Harden.
Joel Embiid returned and showed up in Game 3, but Harden only scored 16 points, leaving his team in a difficult spot.
Game 4 will be crucial for the Sixers if they want to keep their chances alive.
The Celtics can put them in a difficult position with another win.
This appeared to be a close series, but Boston is proving that they’re a much better team.
Game 4 is scheduled for this Sunday when the Celtics will try to take another step toward the Eastern Conference Finals.
