Philadelphia comes back to 2-2 against Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals. To do so, the Sixers won 116-115, in overtime, on Sunday, May 07, in a crazy endgame. After leading the whole game, Joel Embiid's teammates had a blackout in the last quarter before being joined and even overtaken, before equalizing thanks to James Harden who will snatch the overtime (107-107). The Bearded One was the big man of the game with 42 points (including 6 3-pointers) and 9 assists, including the winning basket with a beautiful shot, on a service of Joel Embiid. The 2023 MVP was also monstrous with his best game during these play-offs: 34 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. Next appointment this tuesday in Boston for the Game 5.
