With a 3-1 lead, the Boston Celtics were in complete control of their first-round series with the Philadelphia 76ers.
However after two straight Celtic losses, the series is now tied at three games apiece heading into a decisive Game 7 in Boston on Saturday night. The Sixers clearly have the momentum at this point in the series and the Celtics will have to figure out a way to respond of else their season is going to end much earlier than anyone in Boston had hoped or expected.

Following Boston’s 106-93 loss in Game 6 in Philadelphia on Thursday night, Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown revealed Boston’s mindset and approach heading into the do-or-die final game of the series.
Basically, Brown thinks that the Celtics need to disregard the rest of the series and look at Game 7 as its own individual series; a clean slate for both teams. The way Brown sees it, whichever team shows up with more energy on Saturday will claim victory.
“Game 7 is a game amongst itself in a sense,” Brown said. “The rest of the series doesn’t matter. It’s going to [come down to] whose going to show up on that day and be the better-performing team. There’s definitely some stuff that I see that I can improve. Definitely would shift my approach going into Game 7 and I’m looking forward to coming out with a great fight.”
