The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 114-102 in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals, with Al Horford playing a key role in the win. Philadelphia got as close as two points in the third quarter but failed to capitalize due to their poor execution offensively. Sixers' coach Doc Rivers believes that the Celtics trusted more in the past than his team did, leading to his team losing the game. James Harden had an off-night with only one made shot much to their detriment. Harden and Tyrese Maxey's return improved the Sixers' offense and helped them become the best offense in the league. Now with Joel Embiid returning, Harden may have to adapt to a lesser role and depend more on open shots and dive cuts instead of the coach's isolation plays. He had a lot of success attacking Al Horford in Game 1, which Philadelphia should continue to do so. Moreover, Boston may be one of the more aggressive teams when sending help at Embiid, which means the ball may come out of his hands faster, opening opportunities for Harden. Will the Sixers bounce back and win Game 4?
