The Boston Celtics were feeling really angry and ticked off after losing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Philadelphia 76ers. Coach Joe Mazzulla said that the team was so upset that they couldn't even enjoy their pizza afterwards!

But in Game 2, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was determined to turn things around. He hit a 3-pointer on Boston's first offensive possession, and then defended James Harden like a boss.

All of this led to an awesome game from the Celtics, who dominated the Sixers with a 121-87 victory. It was so good that it tied for the third-largest margin of victory in Celtics playoff history! The Sixers couldn't handle the Celtics' anger, and it showed.

The best part? The Celtics didn't even need to use any cheat codes to win! They played like true champions, and evened up the series at 1-1. The next game is on Friday night in Philadelphia, and you can bet that the Celtics will be bringing their A-game.

The Boston Celtics won big against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals! Celtics guard Jaylen Brown led the way with 25 points, and Malcolm Brogdon came off the bench to tie a playoff record with six 3-pointers.

The Celtics were fired up after losing Game 1 and wanted to show everyone what they're made of. Brown said they just needed to take more pride in themselves and play to the best of their ability.

Even though Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was in foul trouble and only scored seven points, the team's depth helped them secure the win. Brogdon, Derrick White, and Grant Williams all stepped up and contributed to the victory.

On defense, the Celtics were relentless and didn't let Harden or newly crowned MVP Joel Embiid get too comfortable. Harden had a rough night, shooting only 2-for-14 from the field, and Embiid finished with only 15 points.

The Celtics' victory on Wednesday is also pretty impressive - it's the 15th consecutive time that a team has bounced back to win Game 2 after losing Game 1 of a playoff series at home.

After being critical of their defense in the first game, the Celtics turned up the intensity and put the pressure on the Sixers. They tested Embiid's knee injury by putting him in space and attacking him in the pick-and-roll. It was a great team effort from the Celtics, and they proved that they're not to be underestimated.

The Celtics were feeling pretty bummed after losing Game 1, but they bounced back in a big way in Game 2. Jaylen Brown was on fire, scoring 25 points and setting the tone for the team. Even though Jayson Tatum got into some foul trouble, the Celtics still dominated the game, winning by a whopping 34 points!

The Celtics' bench players also stepped up big time, with Malcolm Brogdon hitting six 3-pointers and finishing with 23 points. They proved that their depth is one of their strengths.

"Playing angry can sometimes be a good thing in sports, and the Celtics proved that with their dominant victory over the 76ers. But maintaining that same level of intensity and focus will be key for them moving forward in the series."

But it wasn't just their offense that was clicking. The Celtics also played great defense, holding James Harden to only 12 points and Joel Embiid to just 15 points. They even tested Embiid's knee by attacking him in the pick-and-roll.

And let's not forget about their 3-point shooting. After barely shooting any in Game 1, the Celtics hit 20 of their 51 3-pointers in Game 2. They even went on a 3-point spree in the third quarter, hitting seven of them and scoring 35 points!

The Celtics know they can't let their guard down now that they've won a game. They need to maintain that same energy and intensity if they want to win this series. Let's see if they can keep up the good work in Game 3!
