Daily News | Sixers overwhelmed by Boston Celtics in Game 2 loss, spoiling Joel Embiid’s return
BOSTON — Malcolm Brogdon’s three-point barrage took less than 83 seconds of game time, and swiftly turned a comfortable Celtics cushion over the 76ers into a Game 2 onslaught.
After Brogdon’s third three-pointer pushed the lead to 29 points, at 92-63, with 52.2 seconds remaining in the third quarter, it reached 32 points on another Brogdon three-pointer early in the final period. That prompted Sixers coach Doc Rivers to begin emptying his bench, subbing in Jaden Springer, Shake Milton and Danuel House Jr.
Brogdon’s performance lifted the Celtics on a night All-Star Jayson Tatum battled foul trouble. Jaylen Brown led Boston with 25 points, including a hot 5-of-6 start from the floor, and four assists. Some offensive rhythm arrived for Embiid closer to halftime, when he converted a crafty finish inside, drew a foul in the lane and then exploded for a rim-rocking dunk in the second period’s final minute.
