The Celtics were out of sorts for much of the game, but dominated the fourth quarter to get back in the game. #PLAYOFFMODE /FVG2pYJ9CC- NBA Celtics can't make enough plays down the stretch Embiid found Harden, who buried the shot to give the Sixers the lead, and eventually the win. For some reason, Jaylen Brown came to double him (more on that in a bit), leaving Harden wide open in the corner. With less than 30 seconds to play, the Celtics were clinging to a two-point lead and Joel Embiid tried to bully his way into the paint. Then, of course, there was the game-winner. In the process, he became the first Sixers player to have multiple 40-point games in a single postseason since Allen Iverson in 2003. The Sixers would obviously prefer some more consistency from Harden, but they won't be complaining on Sunday after he poured in 42 points and added eight rebounds, nine assists and four steals. Then, all of a sudden, he flipped the switch again and was amazing in Game 4. He was unbelievable in Game 1 to will the Sixers to a win on the road without Joel Embiid, then may as well have not played in Games 2 and 3. Here are some key takeaways from the game: Harden delivers Jayson Tatum finished with 24 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and four blocks to lead the way, while Jaylen Brown added 23 points and Marcus Smart chipped in 21 of his own. But ultimately, they couldn't find enough points in crunch time or overtime, which has been an issue for them for many seasons now. The Celtics could not find a rhythm for most of the day, but showed a lot of heart to come back and take the lead in the fourth quarter. Those two were boosted by 14 points from Tyrese Maxey and 18 combined points from Georges Niang and Tobias Harris. Joel Embiid, meanwhile, added 34 points, 13 rebounds and four assists. Harden, who was coming off two poor showings in Games 2 and 3, finished with 42 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and four steals in one of the best postseason performances of his career. James Harden hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 19 seconds remaining, though it only stood as such because a 3-pointer made by Marcus Smart as the buzzer sounded came a split-second too late to win the game for the Celtics.
