76ers ties series 2-2 vs Celtics with 116-115 after OT

76ers managed to beat Celtics 116-115 after overtime in dramatic game 4 of their playoff series. James Harden was the main leader for Philly with 42 points, while the MVP Joel Embiid got his double-double, but was very shaky in the final quarter.

76ers built up a 8-point lead in the first quarter and kept ahead in the next two parts, but in the final 12 minutes Celtics were on fire.

This season’s MBP Joel Embiid was nowhere to be seen on the court in the final quarter and every shot he tried didn’t go through the hoop, but along with that he was making surprising mistakes, letting Celtics back into the game.
