Can Philly do this?
Can Kerr lose Anthony Davis? Knicks find the stroke? Jokic, heroic?
PHILADELPHIA 2 BOSTON 2
Philadelphia worked up desperate basketball in Game 4 and the Celtics could not match it. Came close.
Boston’s defense let the team down in Game 1, the next two performances were payback, and the C’s would probably tell you Boston is better than the team smashing Philadelphia in Philadelphia in Game 3. Boston is young, it made the Finals last June but it is still learning, growing.
Philly is what you see, the Doc Rivers-led group that nearly gave away a certain Game 4 win with “what now?”-offense and 6-19 shooting in the fourth period. There is little room for cultivation with this crew, what you planted is what to expect, if that.
What the Sixers do have is enough.
