The Philadelphia 76ers picked up their first win of the series with a 103-92 win over the Boston Celtics. The game was a chippy one. At one point during the game Terry Rozier threw punches at Joel Embiid.
Embiid addressed the punches after the game and trolled Rozier for being too short for the punches he threw to land.
“He tried to punch me twice. Too bad he’s so short he couldn’t get to my face. I didn’t understand why it was a double technical.”

The Sixers did a good job avoiding the sweep, but down 3-1, they’re just delaying the inevitable. We can be thankful that it gave us a couple more games of Joel Embiid to entertain us.
