Jayson Tatum's 51-point performance leads Celtics to Game 7 victory over Sixers.

The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 112-88 in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series, with Jayson Tatum scoring a record-breaking 51 points. The Sixers failed to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2001. P.J. Tucker had a strong start for the Sixers, but Tatum shone brightest throughout the game. The Sixers lost their offensive structure and composure during a scoreless stretch in the third quarter, and the game was noncompetitive in the fourth quarter. The offseason brings major questions for the Sixers, including the future of head coach Doc Rivers and the contracts of players like Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris.
