PHOTOS – Boston at Philadelphia: Celtics survive 95-86, force Game 7 at home

The Boston Celtics needed to win Game 6 of their series with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night, and they took the floor with a double-big lineup that clearly came to play with the requisite intensity of an elimination game.

Boston built an early lead as large as 16 despite an ice-cold 0-of-10 first half for Jayson Tatum (19 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists), but Philly charged back and almost took it before Tatum got hot from 3 late. Massive games from Marcus Smart (22 points, 7 boards, 7 assists), Jaylen Brown (17 points, 6 rebounds), Malcolm Brogdon (16 points, 6 boards), and Robert Williams III (10 points, 9 rebounds) got the Celtics the win, setting up a decisive Game 7 in Boston this Sunday.
