The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to avoid an extremely early elimination from the 2020 NBA postseason on Sunday afternoon, and through 24 minutes of action, they have done a solid job. After one half of play, the Sixers hold a slim 58-57 lead over the Celtics, thanks to 23 combined first half points from Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid. Alec Burks has also provided a big boost for Philadelphia off of the bench with 11 points in the first half. Kemba Walker led the way for the Celtics early on with 20 first half points. The Sixers will need to keep up the effort if they want to extend their season.
The Celtics are looking to become the first team to punch a ticket to the conference semifinals with a win over the 76ers. This would be uncharted territory for Kemba Walker, as the All-Star guard has never made it past the first round of the playoffs in his career. Boston entered Game 4 with a commanding 3-0 series lead thanks largely to Jayson Tatum, who set a career playoff-high with 32 points in the series opener and is averaging 26.7 points and eight rebounds a game thus far.
In 136 instances, no NBA team has managed to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. That's not a good sign for the Sixers who have not won a postseason series against the Celtics since the 1982 conference finals and have not been swept by the Celtics since they were the Syracuse Nationals in 1957. CBS Sports will be with you the entire way, providing news, updates, highlights and expert analysis.
