  • BOSTON - The Philadelphia 76ers, who came very close to winning Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Celtics, managed to steal Game 2 Monday night, grabbing home-court advantage with an 82-81 victory.

  • The Celtics rarely run up scores - they took the fewest field If Evan Turner can find his way to the basket once in that situation, he can do it again. And if the 76ers can win close games, thats a good thing.

  • BOSTON - Perhaps it was all a setup.
  • (Philadelphia Daily News)
  • After blowing a 10-point advantage in the fourth quarter to lose the series opener on Saturday, the youthful 76ers again saw a late lead disappear seconds left and his team down by three.

  • THE FACTS: Jrue Holiday broke out of a shooting slump to score a game-high 18 points, as the Philadelphia 76ers held off a late rally to escape with a 82-81 win over the Boston Celtics.
  • (NBA)
  • BOSTON - It could be the injuries. It could be old age. It could be the 76ers in-your-face defense. It could have been any number of things.
  • (Philadelphia Daily News)
  • There must be some sort of metaphor for this mixed-up NBA season in the fact that the second round of the Playoffs tipped-off before the first round had even ended.
