We got two games tonight (between Friday and Saturday) in the NBA playoffs.

In the one that has already ended, Boston won 102:114 in Philadelphia, took back the home advantage and went 1:2.

Now Denver and Phoenix meet.

The night's games:

Philadelphia (3) - Boston (2) 114:102 (the Celtics improved to 1:2)

Phoenix (4) - Denver (1) (the Nuggets lead 0:2)

Boston regained control of the series.

Before the start of the game, Joel Embiid waved the title of MVP in front of his enthusiastic home crowd.

Unfortunately for them, this celebration ended in a loss and now the home advantage has returned to the Celtics.

The fourth game will be played on Sunday, also in Philadelphia.

Boston jumped out to a quick double-digit lead, played aggressive defense — including a painful tackle by Grant Williams on Embiid — and closed things out.

Jayson Tatum led with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Jaylen Brown added 23 and four other players scored 13 points or more.

On the other hand, Embiid reached 30 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, but the assistance did not appear.

James Harden, who was dizzying with 45 points in the first game, has not found the ring since then, and is 5 of 28 in the last pair of games.

Tonight he had 16 points (3 of 14 from the field) and 11 assists.

Tyrese Maxey added 13, also at a terrible percentage (4-for-16), as Philly as a whole shot worse from the field (39.7) than from outside the rim (43.2).
