76ers Clinch No. 7 Seed

Despite the absence of star center Joel Embiid, the 76ers relied on Maxey's explosive scoring and a strong double-double performance from V.J. Edgecombe.

The Sixers pulled away late in the game, demonstrating the depth of their roster as they head into the postseason.

The upcoming series against the second-seeded Celtics will be a rematch of the 2023 Eastern Conference Semifinals, which Boston won in seven games.

Philadelphia fans are hopeful that their team's momentum will carry them through one of the league's most intense rivalries.
