After being named the 2022-23 MVP, Joel Embiid made his return to the 76ers starting lineup after missing time with an LCL sprain. However, things didn't go as well as he would have hoped, as Philadelphia was blown out 121-87 by the Boston Celtics in Game 2 Wednesday night.

After starting off strong and taking a 12 point lead during the game, the Boston Celtics lost 119-115 to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of their second round series.

What went wrong for Boston, and what can they change going to Game 2? The Garden Report's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon discuss onsite at TD Garden following the Celtics loss.

During the Celtics 128-120 series-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night, there was one massive bright spot late in the game that swung momentum towards Boston: Grant Williams. Once a staple piece of the Celtics rotation, Williams had for some reason fallen out of favor and not gotten as much run as last season, especially in games that warranted it. In Game 5 as the Celtics were trying to stay in it, Joe Mazzulla turned to veteran Blake Griffin over Grant, which is puzzling. However, on Thursday, the Celtics turned to their tweener forward, who racked up 17 minutes and gave some crucial energy and defense to a team desperately trying to put the game to bed. With the Philadelphia 76ers waiting for them, The Garden Report's Bobby Manning calls for more Grant Williams minutes.

After gaining a 3-1 lead and going back to TD Garden, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics had an opportunity to put this series away and look towards next round against the 76ers. But, with six minutes left in the game and up 10, the Celtics came unglued and failed to seal the deal, with the Hawks forcing a Game 6 in Atlanta. Tatum had a rough night, especially shooting from beyond the arc, and towards the end of the game made some costly mistakes. After their collapse, who is the most to blame? Is Jayson Tatum to blame for the Celtics Game 5 loss? Join The Garden Report's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss Jayson Tatum's rough performance.

ATLANTA, GA -- After the Atlanta Hawks lost to the Boston Celtics 129-121 at State Farm Arena, tempers flared and frustration boiled over after the final whistle for Hawks star guard Dejounte Murray. As the teams were leaving the floor, Murray went out of his way to confront one of the referees, bumping into him and staring him down before walking off the floor, turning back and yelling in the official's direction as Murray was being guided towards the locker room by members of the Hawks staff. Per NBA rules, contact initiated by a player with a referee at any time is a violation resulting in an automatic one game suspension; Celtics fans should be familiar with this, as it got Grant Williams ejected from a game earlier in the season and earned him a one game suspension to boot. With the intentions to intimidate and instigate, can the league turn the other cheek with Dejounte Murray? Is Dejounte Murray going to be suspended for Game 5?
