Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Boston’s best player, Jaylen Brown, went off on referees after the loss, citing an “agenda” against him.
He pointed to Joel Embiid’s performance, saying the big man got favorable calls and flopped around to get more.
Brown’s frustration was palpable, and it’s easy to see why – he was the Celtics’ best player all season, and his team came up short.
As he said, “That was the response from the officiating crew.” It’s a common pattern, and fans know it all too well.
Embiid had 34 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, and the 76ers won the series 4-3.
