#3 76ERS at #2 CELTICS | FULL GAME 5 HIGHLIGHTS | May 9, 2023

Crew chief, Mark Davis. Referee, Josh Tivin. Umpire, Tyler Ford. Alden at John Corbin. Replay center, we've got John Goebel and the team that wins game 5. And here comes James Harden. They put light on him early. Poked away by Hereford. Shot clock at 2 and beat the 3. And it drops just like that. From 3-point territory, like I said, in this series, 1 of 7. From about beyond the arc, it is a 3 by Smart, who will tie it just like that. Harris is on Tatum. Tatum only had 2 points in the first half in game 4. Smart, open triple. Back to back threes here by Smart. Smart had 21 in game 4. It was a good pass, but bobbled on the play by Brown. Taken by Harden in the other way. Harris flies in. Just saw the youngest coach in the NBA, Joe Mazua, inside Brown. Got that little niche to work in and makes it go. He's been under 10 points 2 times in this series. With a shot on the fly, Maxey pops one up. And Bede gets another offensive rebound. Count it for 2 and a foul. So you can't foul him because he's going to hurt you at the line as well. Horford and Embiid. Taxi stays with a traveling right. What a move inside for 2. Already offensive rebounding a plus here. Drops out there by Embiid. Smart went briskly into the paint. Embiid with the block. Harden the other way. Zigzags on Horford. Kicks it out. Maxey tees one up from 3 and buries the triple. Screen up high. Embiid. Horford goes on Harden. And James knocks in his first shot tonight. 3 offensive rebounds already for the Sixers. Harden to Embiid and this is over Horford. How about the pause when he catches the basketball because that freezes out Horford. Philadelphia started 3 of 11. They've gone 6 of 6 since. Perching for the play. Driving is Brown. Robbie Williams has just checked in for the Boston Celtics. Maxey free to fire. The triple is down the hatch. What a start for him. George Nguyen has come in for Philly. Twisting move. Tatum. Kicks it out. Brown. Over Melton. Triple. Nice answer there again. The dribble penetration by Tatum. But for the road team, you want to be in the game and engaged. That's to Howie's report. Around the screen. 3. Maxey buries it. Beckins into the second quarter. Easily for Reid. Tap by House. Picked up. Harden. Shot clock is at 3. He got the screen. Makes the fake. Fires the 3. Buries it from outside and a 10 point Philly lead. Bench right now. I don't know if he's back doing something with that knee. It's a move in here. Chiseling. Harden. Smart there. And he gets it to go again. Here comes Harden. A perfect 4 of 4 from the floor. Makes a move. Great drop pass. Reid tries to take it in and does. What an assist from James Harden. Over the wall is 3 plus minutes. Melton, the former Grizzlies, leads Harris. He'll pop one from 15. A nice move inside. Chasing Tatum with 6. Here is Harden. Pumping his way. Feeding it and beat. Outside 3. Harris puts it in from outside. 3. Tatum. Horford with the offensive rebound. Kicks it out smart. Here comes Tatum. There is no additional bandage. It's the same from the start of this game. And he did not receive any treatment when he went back to the locker room. So it was for a reason unrelated to the knee, guys. Oh, Tatum with a 3. Allie, thank you. Needed. 11 for him. Team ends his end with the bump. The double by Tatum. The shot clock at 7. Here comes Harris. And bead right there with a 15 footer that is pure. 21 for Joel Embiid. Finished the first half strong. Into Harris. By Harris. Takes it in. Got his own miss. Cracks it away. Ranges for 2. Horford had the great game 3. 5 of 7. Embiid will watch it trickle in. 16 for Harris. A 15 point lead for the Sixers. Harris has got a double double. 3. Brown. Bounce up. Down low once again. Embiid is in the focus as you might anticipate. He's working over Horford. Joel Embiid is on. 25 for the MVP. It's Tatum. He'll swallow his way down the lane and put a dismiss. He's not the threat that Horford is even though he's struggling tonight. There's a shot by Brown. And that's up and in. As Brown. The double team. Embiid scrapes himself away from the D. Shot clock at 6. Maxey Kripal puts it down. What a shot. That Philly has not had in some of these games in their series. Brown. Brogdon. And Tatum with a 3. The close by Tucker. Give me P.J. Tucker. There comes Harden. Absolutely beautiful. Make a corner 3. He has struggled all series and all playoffs. Here's William. He got it from smart. It's Tatum. Not enough to throw down. Corton at the other end. Taking the challenge on guarding Tatum as well. It's Tatum. Rides and fire. William's there. Nice pass. Maxey right down the lane. Biggest lead for the 76ers tonight. It's Brogdon. And Tatum. Defensively. Shot clock at 2. Ring it up. Tatum gets the triple. Through 3 quarters. If he can get going offensively. A steal. Turnover. It's Harden. House with a full head of steam. Right to the rack. 6 off the bench. Trying to extend that pressure. House with screen. Harden now. A pathway into Rob Williams. To the trailing house with a fake by Brown. And look at this. Side steps a defender. And takes it in. Gliding for 2. Positive minutes off the bench here. For the 66ers. Brogdon into Reed. Got low. Got it in. Back in through traffic. With 17. He'll dance on Brogdon. It's Embiid. Free to fire. Drills it. Sherrell Embiid. 32 for the MVP. Brogdon is out. Smart is in. Brown off a screen. House is on him. Inside. He works his way for 2. Smart comes out on him. Shot clock down to 5. He makes the move. Into Smart. He pulls up. Got it. And Tatum with a free. It was tapped by House. It's picked up by Tatum. Throws it away with a Harden interception. Tailed by White. Up high. Gets it to House. And an acrobatic move. He puts it down. Can they score quickly, though? Brown will fire a 3. See with 23. Back to screen. Cuts to his left. And scoops it home. 25. Embiid. Horford will deny. Shot clock at 1. Great defense by Boston. Galloping Brown. Doc told us rebounding was going to be a big factor in the series, Including tonight. Told us that 45-34 advantage. 3-3. It's Maxey from outside with the trip. 3-3 on their home floor in these playoffs. That's a long shot. That's a 3. And that's put up and in by Newey. Mike Muscawa. Off to Peyton Pritchard. Who will take the 3 Cornets at the screen. So a couple 3s. In the series, 3 games to 2. With the next game in Philadelphia. And the 76ers get a win for the second time in the series on the road, Reggie. And to me, this was a signature playoff moment for Joel Embiid who has Struggled and his teams have struggled in the conference semifinals.
