Miami Heat Takes the King Mountain

A day later, Game 2 of the series between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers arrived as scheduled.

This game became Paul Pierce's personal showcase, as he displayed astonishing explosiveness and dominance on the court.

He went 13-for-25 from the field, including 3-for-5 from beyond the arc, and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line, pouring in a staggering 36 points along with 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal.

Thanks to Paul Pierce's outstanding performance, the Boston Celtics won their second straight game of the series without suspense, extending their overall lead to 2-0.

Two consecutive crushing defeats plunged the Philadelphia 76ers into deep despair. It was as though they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to see even the slightest hope of victory.

Even after returning to their own home court, they could not withstand the Boston Celtics' powerful offense and ultimately lost 79-104, a margin of 25 points. With that, the Boston Celtics took a 3-0 series lead and secured match point.

Game 4 of the series was perhaps the Philadelphia 76ers' best performance. Maybe they simply refused to be swept out by their opponents, so every player gave everything they had.

They were patient on every possession, repeatedly driving and kicking in search of scoring opportunities. On defense, they fought desperately, as though they wanted to swallow the Boston Celtics players alive, and they forcibly dragged the Celtics into the final quarter.

However, despite their desperate struggle, the Boston Celtics ultimately prevailed when Goodwin scored 8 straight points down the stretch, and the Philadelphia 76ers still lost narrowly, 97-101.

The Boston Celtics eliminated the Philadelphia 76ers 4-0 and successfully advanced to the second round.

After the game, Goodwin shared friendly hugs with every Philadelphia 76ers player.
