IN BRIEF: The C's edged out the Sixers on Friday night to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Kemba Walker was Boston's leading scorer with 24 points, Jaylen Brown contributed 21, and Jayson Tatum bounced back from early foul trouble to add 15.

Led by Joel Embiid (30 points), four 76ers starters scored in double figures. Unfortunately for Philly, the bench could only muster a mere nine points (all scored by Alec Burks).
