NBA Top 5 Plays Of The Night | May 3, 2023

Time now for your top plays from game two of the Eastern Conference semifinal between the Celtics and the Sixers. Joel Embiid back in this game, Boston did not care. At number five, Jalen Brown getting things going. Big time rack attack right there. Al Horford, nice find. Brown with the hammer slam. At number four, Paul Reed coming off a great game one in Embiid's absence. Who knew he had that in the bag right there? Behind the backpack to De'Anthony Melton, who drops the floater in. At number three, speaking of Embiid, the newly anointed MVP was playing some defense. Didn't have a great night offensively, but Joel Embiid was a massive presence on the defensive end, especially in the first half. At number two, Marcus Smart going skywalking up top. Great pass by Jason Tatum. Smart rising and then goes behind the back for the reverse alley-oop jim. At number one, what's better? Well, we go back to that defense. I told you Embiid came to play on that end. Five blocks in the first half for Joel Embiid. None bigger than that one on Jalen Brown. But the Celtics get in the last lap, taking game two by a big margin.
