The Celtics will have a chance to punch their ticket to the conference semifinals when they face the 76ers in Game 5.
Boston spoiled Joel Embiid's return in Game 4 behind a 32-point performance from Payton Pritchard, who made six of his team's 24 3-pointers. Jayson Tatum had a double-double (30 points, 11 assists), helping lead the Celtics to a 128-96 victory.
With a 3-1 series lead, the Celtics could gain some valuable rest days by defeating the Sixers on Tuesday night. Boston would meet either Atlanta or New York in the next round, but that series will require at least a Game 6 — and possibly a Game 7.
