United States really should’ve put all of the knockout round games in SEC towns.
“Oh you wanna beat America in the round of sixteen? Great. You’ll do it in Tuscaloosa.”
With the win, the Sixers...
- become the 14th team out of 302 to overcome a 1-3 series deficit -- the first to do it outside the bubble since the 2016 Cavs in the NBA Finals
- advance over Boston in the playoffs for the first time since 1982, snapping a six-series losing streak
The 76ers are the first No. 7 seed in the East to defeat a No. 2 seed since the first round expanded to best-of-seven in 2003.
They are also the 14th team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a series.
Nick Nurse, on VJ Edgecombe: "He came out at halftime said "I got White"....White was cooking, and I think he had 2 points in the 3rd quarter. Those are the things that make a big difference in these games."

Eagles WR A.J. Brown: "Me personally, I truly believe we've got so many good players on this team and at times you can feel like we're being conservative and I don't think it should be like that...Let your killers do their thing and play fast and play aggressive. Not saying that we haven't been, but me personally that's what I would like. Obviously, we're going to run the ball and we're going to set up the run off the pass and the pass off the run, but we have a lot of good players and we should just let them go."
