76ers eliminate Celtics in Game 7

The Philadelphia 76ers have advanced to the Eastern Conference finals after a dramatic 109-100 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 7.

Joel Embiid led the charge with 34 points and 12 rebounds, helping the Sixers become one of the few teams in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 series deficit.

The Celtics were hampered by the absence of star Jayson Tatum, who was sidelined with a late-season knee injury.

Philadelphia now prepares for a high-stakes semifinal rematch against the New York Knicks, with Embiid publicly pleading with local fans to keep rival supporters out of their home arena.
