Getting crushed on the glass all night then winning on a last-second put-back is a good bit, can’t lie.
The Sixers beat the Boston Celtics 102-100 Tuesday night thanks to a Kelly Oubre Jr. put-back with eight seconds left.
Tyrese Maxey’s streak of 25 points or more came to an end, as he had 21 points and nine assists on 5-of-17 shooting. Justin Edwards came off the bench to lead the Sixers with 22 points.
VJ Edgecombe struggled from the field but had some big baskets again, going 2-of-11 for six points. Oubre had only 12 points but tapped in the game winner with 8.7 seconds left.
In only 6:48 of action, Jared McCain once again struggled to get anything going, shooting 0-of-2 with just an assist and a rebound. Jaylen Brown led all scorers with 24.
Joel Embiid missed the game with right knee soreness. Nick Nurse said pregame that he had imaging done earlier in the day and doctors were in the building to go over those results.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
