In the long arc of playoff basketball, few moments carry the weight of a team refusing to accept the story already written for them. On a Saturday night in Boston, the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers — led by a limping Joel Embiid and a relentless Tyrese Maxey — defeated the Celtics 109-100 in Game Seven, completing only the 14th comeback from a 3-1 series deficit in NBA history and the first in franchise history. It was a victory shaped as much by memory as by performance: Embiid had lost to Boston three times before, and this time, he and his team simply decided otherwise.
