After 44 years without a playoff victory against the Boston Celtics, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers ended the drought with a stunning 109-100 win.

Julius Erving led the franchise to a victory in 1982, but 44 years later, Embiid captained the team to success.

The 32-year-old Cameroonian center, despite injury struggles since winning MVP in 2023, led the historic comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series at the TD Garden. saltysenoritaaz.org
