Jayson Tatum's decisive 3-pointers for the Boston Celtics helped them beat the Philadelphia 76ers 95-86 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals and set up a Game 7 decider. Tatum's performance was shaky for the first 3.5 quarters, with 14 misses out of 15, and his coach Joe Mazzulla simply told Tatum that he loved him, which the player later cited as the turning point in his game. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid scored 26 points each for the 76ers.
