🏀 Three‑point onslaught! Reserve scores playoff‑career high 32, Celtics rout 76ers 128-96 for 3-1 lead

PHILADELPHIA – The Boston Celtics drained 24 three‑pointers and demolished the Philadelphia 76ers 128-96 on the road Sunday (Beijing time), taking a commanding 3-1 lead in their first‑round playoff series.

Joel Embiid returned to the Sixers’ lineup after a 17‑day absence due to an appendectomy, posting 26 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. But Boston seized control with a 22‑5 run late in the first quarter and never let the lead drop below 14 points.

Reserve guard Payton Pritchard exploded for a playoff‑career high 32 points, including 13 points in just 5 minutes and 25 seconds after checking in during the first quarter. Jayson Tatum added 30 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

Boston’s three‑point shooting was relentless, and the Sixers had no answer defensively. Despite Embiid’s solid numbers, he was repeatedly targeted in pick‑and‑rolls and couldn’t slow the Celtics’ attack.
