Because of the Celtics' Game 7 loss, the Sultan of Stat doesn't have to sultan beyond the first round. Yet he's still a champion. How is that possible? Math, my friends, advanced math. @DickLipe delivers, as always, with the noteage you need to know. ⬇️

Derrick White is just the 3rd player to have at least 5 3-pointers and 3 blocks in a Game 7 Kevin Durant, GSW at HOU, 5/28/18 Robert Covington, HOU vs. OKC, 9/2/20

Derrick White's 19 points is his most in any game since Mar. 16 (21 vs. Phoenix). He also had a block and a drawn charge at the defensive end. Bench points: BOS 18 (8/15 FG), PHI 2 (1/5 FG)

Tonight's starting lineup for the Celtics has not played a single minute together all season. White, Brown, Garza, Scheierman, Harper Jr.

Pregame thoughts... Boston has won the 1st Q in all 6 games, outscoring the 76ers 170-126. C's are 23-5 this season when the centers combine for at least 23 points. It's happened only once in series. Brown, who is playing in his 9th Game 7, has NBA-best 41 isolation pts

After Thursday's loss in Philadelphia, the Sultan of Stat scrambled to come up with noteage for a Game 7 few expected. The Celtics needed to win a home game Tuesday to get a playoff rest. Now they need to win a home game to avoid being eliminated. @DickLipe with the details. ⬇️

Tatum with another big 1st quarter: 9 pts, 9 reb, 2 asst. He has 29 1st-quarter rebounds in the series, most of any player in the postseason, and 17 assists, 2nd most. He is also 1 of only 6 players with at least 40 1st quarter points.

Pregame thoughts... Since mid-January, the Celtics are 12-1 after a loss. Brown: 27.1 PPG, .507 FG% in those games In 10 career Game 6's, Tatum has averaged 25.9 PPG, best ever by a Celtic. He's had 30 or better in 4 of last 6 White: NBA's 4th best def. FG% in playoffs
