The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 113-97 in Game 5 thanks to Joel Embiid's dominant performance. Embiid scored 33 points on 12-for-23 shooting, had 8 assists, and 4 rebounds. He had an appendectomy on April 9, just 19 days before the game. Embiid struggled early, going 1-for-7, but adjusted his game to impose himself in the paint against Celtics big men Nikola Vucevic and Neemias Queta. After the win, Embiid emphasized his commitment to giving his all to help the Sixers win, dispelling any notions of being lazy. The series now shifts back to the Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game 6 on Thursday.
