#3 Jayson Tatum and Marcus Morris tried their best
The Sixers' defensive scheme worked at its best in this game, as they managed to keep Horford's shot count down to 6, while Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart underwhelmed as compared to their previous outings this postseason on the scoring count.
Jayson Tatum, however, took his run of consecutive 20+ point games to 6. With Ben Simmons as his primary defender, Tatum made a couple of pretty plays that should end up in the highlight reel for the game.

Marcus Morris provided his usual scoring punch with his twin brother Markieff in attendance - Markieff was wearing his brother's own jersey and cheering on from the sidelines. Morris finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and an assist, and he defended as well as usual.
