East Conf. Semis - Game 2: Philadelphia 76ers 103-108 Boston Celtics - 5 Talking Points

#3 Redick, Embiid and Covington showed up but nobody else

Philadelphia 76ers v Boston Celtics - Game Two

When it comes to putting up numbers, Joel Embiid was Mr. Consistent again, as he recorded 20 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists after putting up 31p, 13r, 5a in Game 1.

After the entire team had a horrid shooting night in Game 1, Robert Covington and JJ Redick had good bounce-back games with the duo combining for 45 points on 15-of-32 shooting (46.8%) and 9-of-16 (56.3%) on 3s. Covington even had 2 steals and 2 blocks to add to his box score.

But for everybody else on the team (especially their wing shooters), despite a strong steady start, it was yet another bad game. Dario Saric put up 14 (4-of-13 shooting), Ersan Ilyasova had just four points in 16 minutes and Marco Belinelli had 11 points in 20 minutes but on 5-of-11 shooting (1-of-4 3s).

There's one more player we haven't mentioned yet but he deserves a slide to himself.
