Joel Embiid 76ers Team to Beat East Win vs. Jayson Tatum Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers defeat Boston Celtics 106-103 in a thrilling battle, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey lead the way to victory.

The Philadelphia 76ers emerged victorious in a battle against the Boston Celtics, with a final score of 106-103 at the Wells Fargo Center. Both teams entered the game with matching 5-1 records, making it a highly anticipated match-up in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers were on a five-game winning streak, while the Celtics were coming off their first loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, but the 76ers took control late in the third quarter with an 11-0 run, giving them an 83-72 advantage. Despite holding a 102-87 lead with under three minutes remaining, the Celtics made a late surge, led by Kristaps Porziņģis and Jaylen Brown, to cut the deficit to just three points. However, Porziņģis' game-tying three-point attempt fell short, securing the win for the 76ers.

Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks, while Tyrese Maxey added 25 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. For the Celtics, Porziņģis scored 29 points, and Jayson Tatum finished with 16 points, 15 assists, six rebounds, and three steals.

Despite a shaky final few minutes, the 76ers emerged victorious and now hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference. It's still early in the season, but Philadelphia looks to be a strong contender for the East crown.

Following the win, the 76ers will play the Detroit Pistons on the road before returning home for matchups against the Indiana Pacers. Meanwhile, the Celtics will head home for a three-game set, starting with a game against the Brooklyn Nets.
