The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers will square off in an epic Game 5 showdown on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. This series has been back and forth with both teams trading wins and losses. The Celtics have won the last two games to take a 3-1 series lead, but the 76ers are looking to make a statement in this pivotal Game 5.
The Celtics will be led by their All-Star trio of Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, and Jayson Tatum. Irving has been the star of the show so far in the series, averaging 27 points and 6 assists per game. He has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Celtics and will be looking to lead his team to a series victory.
The 76ers will be looking to their stars to step up and lead the team to a win. Joel Embiid has been an absolute force for the Sixers, averaging 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. He will need to continue to dominate in order for the Sixers to win this game.
Ben Simmons will also be a key factor in this game. He has been a triple-double threat each time he takes the floor, and he will need to have a big game to help the 76ers force a Game 6.
This will be a thrilling matchup between two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Both teams are playing for their season, and this could be a game for the ages.
