Daily News | Sixers fall behind early, falter late in critical 95-86 Game 6 loss to Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum pulled up behind the three-point arc and shot over Joel Embiid. The deep shot went swish. And thefans who had arrived at the Wells Fargo Center eager to celebrate finally overcoming the second-round hurdle began to file to the exits.
Heartbreak for the Sixers arrived down the stretch of a tightly contested fourth quarter. And it was largely due to Tatum, the All-NBA guard who snapped out of a horrific shooting night to hit four three-pointers that pushed the Celtics back into a double-digit lead. That all led to a 16-point second-quarter deficit for the Sixers, before they closed the gap in the third and took a two-point lead into the final period.
After his team fell into an early double-digit hole, Maxey capped a 9-0 spurt with a three-pointer that sent the crowd into a frenzy. He hit another deep shot in the second period’s final seconds to cut Boston’s lead to 50-43. And early in the third quarter, he got free to receive a full-court pass for the fastbreak layup to get his team within 52-45.
