The Boston Celtics did not win Game 7 of their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Philadelphia won 109-100 in Boston on May 2, 2026, completing a 3-1 series comeback. Tyrese Maxey scored 30 points, including two crucial late baskets, and Joel Embiid contributed 34 points and 12 rebounds in a defining performance. The 76ers' victory made them the first seventh-seed to defeat a second-seed in a first-round series since the playoffs were reformed in 2003. Boston's defeat ended a run of postseason success for the defending-champion Celtics and was considered a major upset. The 82% of the Predict Six community who expected a Boston win were wrong; the Celtics' poor three-point shooting in the deciding game contributed to the loss.
