Boston Celtics v Philadelphia 76ers - Game Four
Tatum continued his rich vein of form

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.

The one-and-done rookie out of Duke finished with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and a block on 7-of-16 shooting, while he also made all 4 of his free throws to finish with the best +/- of -1 among all Celtics starters.

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.
