00:30Number zero...
00:34Jason Tatum!
00:35Jason Tatum returned less than 300 days after tearing his Achilles.
00:44Now, the 76ers are trying to answer with a response of their own.
00:50It will not go away.
00:51Down three games to one and behind going into the fourth quarter,
00:55Philadelphia dominated Boston down the stretch in Game 5.
00:58A remarkable performance. No notes.
01:02We're going back to fill it. We got our no-no-no.
01:05Tonight, the series returns to the city of brotherly love.
01:13No teams have met more in the history of the NBA playoffs.
01:17No love lost between these two rivals.
01:21It's the Celtics.
01:23And the Sixers.
01:25Game 6.
01:26Next.
01:40This is the NBA on Peacock.
01:43These are the 2026 NBA playoffs presented by Google.
01:49Tonight, it's Game 6 as the Boston Celtics visit the Philadelphia 76ers.
01:55Brought to you by Kia.
01:58And we're coming to you from Xfinity Mobile Arena in the city of brotherly love.
02:03It is the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics.
02:06Philly looking to become the first team out of four possibilities to force a Game 7 this year
02:12after falling down 3-1.
02:13Noah Eagle, the Hall of Famer Grant Hill, Robbie Hummel and Ashley Shammity.
02:17So glad you could join us tonight from Philadelphia.
02:19This series has been fascinating.
02:21Boston twice in the series has dominated Philly.
02:2430 plus point wins.
02:25That included the last one here in Game 4 on this very floor.
02:29And both times, Philadelphia has responded.
02:31They've come back, punched back with a win in Boston.
02:33What we saw on Tuesday might have been their most impressive win of the season.
02:37This series has made no sense for what you said there.
02:39But you're right, Philadelphia played great in Game 5 and are feeling confident here tonight
02:44in large part because of Joel Embiid and how well he played.
02:48His presence inside put so much pressure on that Celtics defense.
02:52He was scoring at the rim, mid-range game, getting to the free throw line.
02:56So expect him to continue to try to uplift his team and give him a chance to go back to
03:01Boston for Game 7.
03:02Robbie, we look at this Boston team and for the majority of the year we heard gap year, gap year,
03:06gap year.
03:06And then Jason Tatum comes back and says,
03:08Oh, this is the Eastern Conference.
03:09No more gap year.
03:10No, this is the favorite to win the Eastern Conference.
03:12They looked like it in Game 1.
03:14They looked like it here in Games 3 and 4.
03:16But there have been some downsides in Games 2 and 5.
03:18Well, just a disastrous fourth quarter, guys.
03:213 of 22 from the field.
03:22And you look at the way the best guys played, both Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum.
03:26For as good as Tatum has looked coming back from that Achilles injury,
03:29he only gets two shots in the fourth.
03:31He doesn't score.
03:32As for Jalen Brown, two points, 0 of 6 from the field.
03:35His numbers have been a little bit down over the last two games.
03:39But these guys are superstars.
03:41I promise you here in Game 6, that's not happening again.
03:44Those guys will play at a high level.
03:45You're looking for both the superstars and the others, so to speak, to come out big.
03:50Derek White hoping to get out of his own funk.
03:52We saw Quentin Grimes make a huge impact in Game 5 as well.
03:56But Philadelphia is hoping to push this thing to 7.
03:58Could become just the 15th team in NBA history to win after falling down 3-1.
04:03Tyrese Maxey is going to have to be a huge part of that if they want to make it happen.
04:06And moments ago, he caught up with Ashley Chalmany.
04:09All right, Tyrese, you told me this morning at Shootaround,
04:11it was a defensive effort that really got you guys that win Tuesday night.
04:14What are you taking specifically, especially in that fourth quarter, that you want to bring into tonight?
04:18Just our physicality, our attention to detail, and how we rebounded.
04:22Love that.
04:23And then in an elimination game, how do you balance playing with that desperation
04:28versus kind of keeping it calm just so you don't lose your game?
04:31Right.
04:32It's going to be highs.
04:32It's going to be lows.
04:34Kind of got to stay even keel.
04:35You know what I'm saying?
04:35They're going to make runs.
04:36We're going to make runs.
04:37The crowd's going to get loud.
04:39You never know what can happen.
04:40But at the end of the day, you fight to the end of the game.
04:43So it's going to be highs.
04:44It's going to be lows.
04:44It's going to be a rollercoaster game.
04:45And just got to have fun while doing it.
04:47Tyrese, you voiced about wanting to give a win to this home crowd.
04:50What can you expect about the atmosphere tonight?
04:52It's going to be electric.
04:53You know, Philly fans, they're going to do what they do.
04:55And we just got to guard and try to protect home court.
04:57Tyrese, best of luck.
05:01And the game is at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
05:04One team can move on around two.
05:06The other team can keep their season alive and force a winner take all game seven.
05:11Tip off straight ahead.
05:16Cracker, Jalen Brown, Tyrese Maxey.
05:18Those are the two players we're going to keep our eyes on.
05:20Two dynamic scores in the backcourt for their respective teams.

05:34Game six in Philadelphia.
05:36The 76ers trying to extend their season.
05:39Boston trying to move on to round number two.
05:42And the Celtics trying to get back on the horse in a big way after the Philadelphia fourth quarter explosion
05:48in game five.
05:49Starting lineups for the Celtics brought to you by DoorDash.
05:55Derrick White, the legend high school.
05:58Jalen Brown, Cal Berkeley.
06:00Sam Hauser, Washington Elementary.
06:03Jason Tatum, Duke University.
06:06And me is Keto, Utah State University.
06:12For Joe Mazzola, he has had so much success in such a short time in his career.
06:16He's seven and four in closeout games.
06:19And he's hoping to eliminate one of his bitter rivals at the NBA level.
06:23Certainly, this Sixers and Celtics matchup has become stuff of legends over the course of many, many decades.
06:29So many playoff moments.
06:30So many regular season moments as well.
06:33And now they'll ring the bell as is customary here in Philadelphia.
06:42So a great scene as always in Philly as we get set to meet the Sixers starters.
06:49Keep your focus as a goal of one team.
06:52The moment that you work your whole season for, your whole offseason.
06:55Just to find a ways to win.
06:58Same fight, different round.
07:00Some days you'll get knocked down.
07:02But the only thing that matters is getting back up.
07:06So on Edgecombe!
07:07And the best battle man!
07:09And he punched him right back!
07:12Edgecombe!
07:13Edgecombe!
07:13Clear!
07:14Touchdown!
07:15Oh man!
07:16Right down!
07:17Brought straight!
07:18And the Sixers have battled back!
07:21What an effort!
07:21What an effort!
07:23Rory triumphed up for the Sixers!
07:45The fans here are seven million!
07:48Love this!
07:51And now let's be sure Philadelphia!
07:5676ers!
07:57Head coach is Nick Nurse.

33:08So for Embiid it'll be the second and third free throw attempts of the night he has been one of
33:14the lone aspects of this team since his return that can consistently get to the line.
33:20The NBA family proudly continues its season-long celebration of America's 250th anniversary through service and volunteerism.
33:27We honor the spirit, resilience, and unity that have shaped our nation for two and a half centuries.
33:32Please join us as we honor America.
33:37One more for Embiid.
33:3833 points, 8 assists, averaging nearly 30 over the course of the two games.
33:43He averages 25 in his playoff career, this being his 62nd playoff game now in his 10th NBA season.
33:53Back to a two-point game.
33:55Butchard with just three attempts so far has put two in.
34:00Bryan steps up.
34:01Garza on the outside.
34:03Now it's Brown on the attack.
34:05Oh, he got Oubre in the air.
34:07Savvy veteran play from Jalen Brown.
34:09So smart there.
34:11Jalen Brown has talked about the season he's had.
34:14He was in the MVP consideration for part of the season there.
34:17Just a beautiful shot fake.
34:20Gets Oubre in the air.
34:22Reminded me a little bit of his assistant coach on the bench, Sam Cassell.
34:25Ooh.
34:26Loved that little shot fake.
34:28Seldon so well.
34:29He got me a few times.
34:31Yeah.
34:31Well, you know, Joe Mazzola just raves about what Sam Cassell brings to this staff.
34:35And the main reason being, he knows what every role in the NBA is like.
34:40Because he was a role player early in his career.
34:42He became a star player and an all-star in the middle of his career.
34:45Then went back to a role player.
34:46He had every spot on the floor.
34:48And so he can relate to every player in this locker room.
34:51All I know is my rookie year, he said, I'm Sam Cassell, two-axis together.
34:56But I think from doing the on-the-bench game, he's a phenomenal communicator as well.
35:01Edwards misses a three.
35:02Rebound goes to Oubre.
35:03He lost it, trying to save it.
35:05And the full extension couldn't get him there in time.
35:08And in fairness to Kelly Oubre, he's dealing with an adductive strain.
35:12And so the offensive end, he has struggled, but certainly has been able to suck it up there.
35:17Play defense.
35:19Guarding Jalen Brown, making it miserable for him as best he can.
35:22And that's exactly what Nick Nurse has mentioned as Shirenden stepped out of bounds.
35:27He said he's going to take his lumps because these guys, both Brown and Tatum,
35:30they're just so good that they're eventually going to get off.
35:33But at the same time, you've got to kind of tie up your shoes again and get right back to
35:38it
35:38and have a short memory, as he said.
35:40But the responsibility to both Oubre and Paul George of defensively having to check those guys.
35:45And they are two of the big wings for filling.
35:47Embiid finally drills one from downtown.
35:51He is hyped about that.
35:53And finally Embiid gets one to go down.
35:55Nine points, three boards, three assists already for the process.
35:59As Brown goes all the way to the rack.
36:01Nice hesitation dribble right there.
36:04Knowing that Embiid is not as mobile as he was in years past,
36:07able to attack and get to that rim.
36:09Seven now for Jalen Brown.
36:11Edge comes back on the floor,
36:13looking to get his offense working.
36:15Had that incredible game two.
36:18As Embiid can't hit in the mid-height.
36:20He's having good looks with that short roll.
36:22That's another wide-open shot.
36:24Finley will take that every time down.
36:27Brown, working on Edwards, looking to back him down.
36:31Fend off, Brown, kick out.
36:34Pritchard, no.
36:40Edge comes, turns on the turbo!
36:46The flying rookie does it again!
36:50And he put that into another gear going by Jalen Brown.
37:00Garza on the pump.
37:02Looking to play through Pritchard on this possession.
37:05He'll drop.
37:06Headed rejected by Obrey.
37:08And then Garza lost it out of bounds.
37:13And Robbie, as they say,
37:15it's better in the Bahamas.
37:18Turning the corner.
37:19A one-man fast break.
37:21Edgecombe's been doing that all year.
37:24And just he and Maxie.
37:25I mean, the athleticism both of them have as guards.
37:29And once again, the little things.
37:31Kelly Oubre coming over from the weak side.
37:34Great defense.
37:35That should have been a basket.
37:36And Kelly Oubre still, you know, he's trying to catch his breath.
37:39That's a heck of a play.
37:41And B never squared the basketball.
37:43Edwards couldn't get back up underneath.
37:44And instead of it being two points, Kelly Oubre just erases that shot.
37:49Self-expense did implore Joe Missoula to challenge.
37:51That is a no-brainer block.
37:53Kato sends it back.
37:55Brown in the open court.
37:56Banks it home.
38:00Meanwhile, Jason Tatum's back on the floor here for Boston.
38:03He had nine rebounds in the first quarter,
38:05which is the most in any quarter of his playoff career,
38:08which has been an illustrious playoff career
38:10that's included 126 games, including tonight.
38:14Actually, coming into tonight.
38:16Tonight's 127.
38:18Oubre snakes his way through for 10.
38:21Maybe Kelly Oubre can get himself going.
38:24Had some opportunities in game five at the rim.
38:26Now the active hands here defensively.
38:28Banks comes to it up.
38:30Browns the numbers the other way.
38:31Oh, man.
38:33No takes.
38:35Batted around to the hands of Brown.
38:37He passed up an easy shot.
38:38He made it harder for himself.
38:41And a timeout called by Joe Missoula
38:43with 7.53 to play in this second quarter.
38:46Major action here in game six.
38:49Philly holding on to that one-point cushion at home.
38:54Back to Philly.
38:55You hear us talking about the Spain actions.
38:56Not because I love Madrid, which I do.
38:59But it's the play that's set here.
39:01You see Kata setting a screen on Tatum's man.
39:04And then quickly, the shooter, in this case, Derek White,
39:07setting a back screen on Kata's man.
39:11And somehow it puts the defense in an odd situation there.
39:14And there's so many variations and reads off of it.
39:17And I'm not quite sure, Robbie, how you defend that.
39:20Your communication has to be on point.
39:22Hopefully, your big can avoid that back screen.
39:24The guards can just switch it out.
39:25But it's easier said than done
39:27because it's happening so quickly in such a short space.
39:30Kata floater doesn't go off the window.
39:32Are you saying the ball handler is going to say,
39:34muy bien gracias?
39:35He might.
39:37You're welcome, Brett.
39:38That was for you.
39:39I appreciate it.
39:40Float of courage for Maxie.
39:42How about Drummond, though, just screaming off that portant screen.
39:45Maxie doing the rest.
39:47Snaking that thing and getting to his right hand.
39:50Deep ball for Derek White.
39:52And a sigh of relief on the Boston side.
39:54That's a great sign here for Boston.
39:57Derek White both for four from three in game five.
40:03Embiid and Maxie have 19.
40:05Brown and Tatum have 18.
40:07We are all leaving at 32.
40:09Oubre.
40:09Bottom.
40:10He's been struggling with that three-point shot.
40:13Boston keeping that thing on the side.
40:15Tatum not letting Paul George use it,
40:17so he just drives and kicks it.
40:19And that's cashed out by Oubre.
40:24Kata trying to get it to Brown.
40:27Allen Brown, nine points on four of eight.
40:30Shooting, attacking on Maxie.
40:32And Paul's going to be called.
40:34Billy wanted steps.
40:37Meanwhile, Oubre, demonstrably showcasing the offarm.
40:41Nick Nurse is saying Maxie was straight up.
40:43And now he'll look to his back bench,
40:45and they'll tell him don't challenge him.
40:48Jalen Brown is just so big and so strong,
40:51just kind of moving Maxie out of the way.
40:54I thought Maxie was in pretty good position there,
40:56legal position.
40:57But Jalen is so smart.
40:59They're drawing that contact and giving it to the line.
41:02And Maxie has been up for the physical challenge.
41:05When Jalen Brown's driven him,
41:06he's done a good job of just walling up.
41:09Jalen Brown is one for five at the free throw line.
41:14That is a problem for Austin in game five.
41:1861% from the free throw line in that game.
41:21And the bubbles continue here.
41:23And he finally does get one to go.
41:26The Celtics so far in this series have shot at 75% at the free throw line.
41:31But during the regular season,
41:32they just did not get to the line a ton because of their play style.
41:35Mainly on the perimeter.
41:37Tough one for George.
41:38Tough one for George.
41:40That wasn't even that big of a drop.
41:42But Paul George is coming off that ball screen,
41:45and he is looking to rise and fire.
41:51Tight defense for Maxie.
41:53O'Brien steps up again on Brown.
41:56Green from White.
41:57Brown will try.
41:58Brown hit.
41:59Oh, wow.
42:01Matching Paul George's contested three right there.
42:05Tough shot.
42:06Jalen Brown getting it done.
42:07I love just flipping that ball screen late.
42:09So hard to handle defensively.
42:11And he's going to connect to the mid-range.
42:14The shots start to finally go down here in the second quarter.
42:17The offense is picking it up.
42:18Finally.
42:19And a foul is going to be called on O'Brien on the outside.
42:26And, Robbie, you were right.
42:27I mean, the drop coverage, Cato was there.
42:30Nice contest.
42:31Paul George came right off.
42:33Very decisive.
42:34And fired that three.
42:36And then on the other end, Jalen Brown got his rhythm.
42:39Able to connect from downtown.
42:44Brown, Cato.
42:46Rucks defense by George.
42:48He came over.
42:48That was at Spain again.
42:50And Paul George saved the day by being in the right spot.
42:54Maxey looking to dance on Tatum.
42:56Drummond goes to set the screen.
42:58Maxey in attack mode.
42:59Right at Cato.
43:01He could spin it in, but a foul.
43:03And, Robbie, it's so hard to defend Maxey in that situation.
43:07Because he comes off that screen.
43:09He can knock down that three.
43:11So as a big in Cato, you have to get out on him.
43:14And he has that burst that you alluded to earlier, just able to turn that corner.
43:20Once again, Cato bringing up a foul.
43:23So, fortunate for the Celtics.
43:26So, Maxey to the free throw line is third.
43:29Make it his first attempts of the night.
43:31We'll take a look at the upcoming playoff schedule tomorrow on Prime.
43:34Detroit at Orlando, Game 6, 7 p.m. Eastern.
43:38Then you've got a Game 6 in Toronto with Cleveland at the Raptors at 7.30.
43:43Lakers and Rockets in Houston at 9.30 Eastern.
43:46For more on these games, please go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
43:51Maxey extends this to a six-point game.
43:53One point off their largest lead of the night.
43:55You see his two-point shooting has not been necessarily up to his standards,
43:59but he's found points manufacturing at all three levels.
44:05Brown against Dubré.
44:07Rip through.
44:08Send off.
44:09Offensive foul.
44:10And it's number three on Jalen Brown.
44:14Jalen Brown arguing his case, Robbie,
44:17but it looked like he extended that left arm.
44:22It was just that left arm, just that push-off there.
44:26Gave it away.
44:26Did he make it step on?
44:27It steps on his foot, and you get the extension there.
44:31Jalen Brown trying to plead his case,
44:33but that's a massive development there.
44:38Jalen Brown just picked up his ninth offensive foul of the series.
44:42He had the second-most offensive fouls in the NBA
44:44during the regular season behind Towns.
44:47We check in with Ashley.
44:48Guys, Nick Nurse just was talking about Kelly Oubre
44:50and how there's not a second that he's not guarding
44:52two of the best players on the floor in Ketum or Brown,
44:55and they've obviously both been great,
44:56but he said Kelly just keeps rolling up his sleeves,
44:58going to work in a channel.
45:00That's going to be another offensive foul.
45:02This one's on Kata.
45:04Single-handedly, Kelly Oubre,
45:06with his activity and energy,
45:09taking the challenge defensively,
45:11just trying to fight through this screen.
45:13And Kata, that was an easy call by the officials.
45:17You cannot move your body there,
45:19but he's got to know better, Grant.
45:21Yeah, and Tatum's going early with that,
45:23but that's one, to me, it's Kata,
45:24the most physical big that Boston has.
45:27He's got to know he cannot pick up that third.
45:30It looked like he was trying to roll
45:31before he actually set the screen.
45:33That was one of the main concerns from Joe Mazzola.
45:36It's the silly fouls from Kata.
45:37He said, I know he's got four,
45:39and I expect him to have at least four,
45:40but the extra ones are what really throw us off all of them.
45:44Maxey follows his miss, fades, can't fill it up,
45:47rebounded Drummond, physical on Vujovic.
45:50That is Andre Drummond's deal right there.
45:53No offensive rebound for the last two,
45:55but at times, when he's on the floor,
45:58your best offense can be just getting up there on the rim.
46:01Largest lead now for Philly.
46:03Another fend off this time.
46:04It's Tatum who's fouled by Drummond.
46:10Actually, Boston's lucky.
46:12They didn't call an offensive foul there.
46:14Once again, you see the extension on the right arm of Tatum,
46:18but George was not in legal position,
46:20and on the other end, Andre Drummond,
46:23a former all-star with the Pistons,
46:26getting strong on the interior.
46:28So much has been made of the change in Drummond's game this year.
46:33Over the course of his NBA career, his first 13 years,
46:35he went 18 of 140 from three, which is 12.9%.
46:39This year, 32 of 90, which is about 36%.
46:44But at the end of the day,
46:45his bread and butter is still on the boards,
46:46and when he wants to be engaged,
46:49it feels like nobody can out-rebound him.
46:51He's taken the Brooke Lopez approach in this season,
46:54but still, you're right.
46:55It's the offensive glass where he can really impact the game.
46:59Tatum perfect on a pair.
47:01He's now up to 11.
47:03He's got 10 rebounds.
47:05Already a double-double in this first half for Jason Tatum.
47:08It's amazing.
47:09He's averaging a double-double since being back.
47:11He has been a defensive rebounding machine.
47:14Maxi Cross outside George.
47:17Attack on Tatum.
47:18The space thought he was fouled,
47:20and the whistle does come.
47:21There will be a blocking foul.
47:24And I like how decisive Paul George has been.
47:28He's caught it.
47:29He's caught the ball,
47:30made a quick move in that particular case,
47:32or caught and shot it,
47:34but looking to be aggressive.
47:36We said Nick Nurse wanting him to look for his shot,
47:39hunt his shot.
47:40Hasn't played a lot this season with this group,
47:43but I like his aggressive performance here on the offensive end.
47:48Both teams in the bonus for the final 3.55 of this first half.
47:54George extends it.
47:55It's the premiere weekend in thoroughbred racing,
47:58where high fashion meets high stakes,
48:00and it begins with the Kentucky Oaks tomorrow at 8 Eastern time,
48:04leading up to the Kentucky Derby,
48:05starting Saturday at 2.30 Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
48:09Grant, you've got a somewhat pinkish shirt today.
48:12Is that in the spirit of the Derby?
48:14You know, it's salmon.
48:15It's salmon.
48:16Okay, so it's in between.
48:17It's a pink red.
48:20Well, guys, here, the last 3.50 here,
48:23expect Tatum to really look to take over.
48:27Jalen Brown sitting on the bench with those fouls.
48:29And beat with a hard head there, Grant.
48:31We've seen an almost exclusively drop coverage from him.
48:34The double cross.
48:35Tatum, the patience.
48:37Great patience right there.
48:38Just that little pause as Embiid contested there.
48:43Let him go by.
48:44Now, I like how Tatum is being aggressive,
48:46getting to the paint.
48:4713 and 10 for Tatum.
48:50George, step away.
48:51Go!
48:52The space created there.
48:54You've got Tatum one-on-one.
48:56George get to the body and stepping it back and burning it.
48:59Howser off the ball.
49:00Rebound Oubre.
49:02And that strip by Derrick White.
49:05Takes it right back for the seeds.
49:09Those little hustle plays, though.
49:11Those defensive efforts.
49:12And now you get to look to Tatum.
49:13What a possession.
49:15Derrick White makes that happen with his effort.
49:17How about Tatum hosting up Embiid there?
49:20This work early.
49:21Teammates with USA basketball in the Olympics a couple years ago.
49:25Max is hoping to get there in the future.
49:27And he'll do it with plays like that.
49:29Gets all the way in.
49:30They're going to count the initial bucket.
49:33But it looked like a foul during the scuffle inside.
49:38And it'll lead us to a timeout on the floor.
49:41Foul's going to go on Embiid, his second.
49:42But a nine-point lead for Philly with under three to play in this first half.
49:46Previous timeout for the Boston Celtics.
49:49Jason Tatum, remember, he tore his right Achilles.
49:51This is his left leg.
49:53He's kind of massaging.
49:54He's trying to work through.
49:55Jump up and down.
49:56Run a little bit along the sideline.
49:58Tested out around the rim as well.
50:01But something to monitor.
50:02He was getting a little extra work on the back end of that timeout as well.
50:05But he is back on the floor.
50:07And he looks like he is still good to go with 15 points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes of
50:12action.
50:14So much with him after he made this incredible comeback, 298 days after tearing his Achilles in that game four
50:24loss against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
50:29He had that extra final hurdle during the regular season when he played at MSG, which he said was going
50:34to be incredibly difficult and emotional.
50:36But he got over the hump, played well, finished the season incredibly strong in 16 games of action.
50:41And here he is now in game six with a first-half double-double.
50:45And it's pretty remarkable to just think about where he was and what he looks like.
50:51It's like when Adrian Peterson came back from the ACL.
50:55And it almost resets the expectation.
50:57He looks, now we know he's not 100%, but he looks phenomenal physically.
51:02And he could have very easily said, you know, I'll wait until next season.
51:06Ramp up when everyone else ramps up.
51:08But he fought, he challenged himself, worked his tail off.
51:12And I'll tell you.
