76ers stun Celtics to tie series

Despite taking a hard fall early in the game, rookie VJ Edgecombe delivered a dominant 30-point performance to lead the 76ers past the top-seeded Celtics.

Tyrese Maxey added 29 points, helping Philadelphia close the game with a flurry of 19 three-pointers.

The Celtics struggled to adjust to the Sixers' aggressive perimeter defense and were unable to mount a fourth-quarter comeback.

Joel Embiid expressed pride in his team's resilience as they head home with home-court advantage.
