The series is tied up at 2-2, as each team has gone 1-1 on the road (and 1-1 at home).

After losing Game 1 in Boston, the Celtics won two straight games (one in Boston and one in Philadelphia).

The 76ers then responded with a 116-115 victory in overtime on Sunday at home.

James Harden erupted for 42 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, four steals and one block while shooting 16/23 from the field and 6/9 from the three-point range in 47 minutes of playing time.

Last year, the 76ers lost in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, while the Celtics lost to the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

The winner of the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face off against either the Miami Heat or the New York Knicks.
