This series is now tied up 2-2. Philadelphia won Game 4, 116-115 in OT, after blowing all of a 16-point lead. The line closed as a pick, so it was a sweat for those on the Sixers. Over bettors didn’t actually need overtime as the game was tied 107-107 at the end of regulation (total closed 213.5).

The teams combined to shoot 30 of 78 from three, the best shooting we’ve seen from distance in this series since Game 1. Boston shot slightly better overall, but could not get off a final shot in OT.

Back home, the Celtics should tighten up defensively. After allowing 92 points through the first three quarters on Sunday, they held the Sixers to just 15 in the fourth on 31.6% shooting.

Philly’s offense has also been very inconsistent in this series, specifically James Harden, who has two 40+ point games (Gms 1 and 4) but scored just 28 points total in Gms 2 and 3.

Boston shot 58% in Game 1 and dominated the paint, but that was when Philadelphia didn’t have Joel Embiid. The Celtics’ edge in points in the paint has dropped dramatically over the last three games. The Under is 5-2 the last seven meetings here in Boston. 8*
