Game seven. TD Garden. Boston and Philadelphia playing for everything tonight, and the Celtics are suddenly looking vulnerable. Joel Embiid is back and the damage is real — Boston has shot twenty-eight and twenty-nine percent from three in back-to-back games, letting Philly claw all the way back from three-one down to force this winner-take-all showdown.
Shifting to the hardwood meltdown that everyone is talking about — Orlando had twenty-two points on Detroit at halftime and somehow found a way to lose. The Magic missed twenty-seven of their final twenty-eight shots in the second half. Twenty-seven of twenty-eight. That is historically bad, and now they face a game seven they should never have needed.
And over in baseball, Atlanta was staring down a six-run deficit in Denver and refused to fold. Michael Harris the Second came off the bench in the ninth and launched a two-run home run to cap a stunning comeback, sending the Braves past the Rockies eight to six and giving Atlanta exactly the kind of momentum a contender needs heading into the thick of the season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
