With 2.4 seconds left and the Boston Celtics leading by two, Marcus Smart had a chance to clinch Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals and eliminate Philadelphia by making a pair of free throws. He missed the first. He could have made things more difficult for the 76ers by missing the second one on purpose, and forcing them to go the length of the court with the clock running. He chucked it against the rim; it went in. Boston defeats Philadelphia 114-112, will face Cavaliers in Eastern Conference finals. 0:26 That gave the 76ers a chance to win with a desperation 3-pointer. The full-court inbounds pass went into the left corner, and who was there to intercept it, heaving it back into the air to run out the clock?

That just describes him so well," guard Jaylen Brown said after Boston beat Philadelphia 114-112 on Wednesday night to advance to the Eastern Conference finals fo

BOSTON -- The Philadelphia 76ers welcomed an unorthodox guest at their team dinner on Tuesday night: a mentalist. Players said the mentalist executed some card tricks and mind-reading exercises after the team ate together on the eve of Game 5 of its Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Celtics . "He does some pretty incredible stuff," guard T.J. McConnell said. In addition to performing card tricks, the mentalist also correctly guessed the identity of some players' ex-girlfriends. "He was smooth," veteran forward Amir Johnson said. The Sixers, of course, are trying to pull off a magic trick of their own this week. No NBA team has ever rebounded from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series. If the Sixers can beat Boston in Game 5 of their second-round series on Wednesday night, they'd inch one step closer to their goal. "We have a game plan that we're confident in, we have a rotation that we believe in and they have a spirit stil

Boston Red Sox left-hander David Price has a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome, but manager Alex Cora said he doesn't think video games brought on the issue. Cora said Price, who was sent back to Boston for testing, will throw a bullpen session Thursday and then the team will decide what to do next. Price was scratched from Wednesday's start against the New York Yankees . "For me this is quote-unquote good news compared to anything else," Cora said. Price was removed for precautionary reasons after one inning of work against the Yankees on April 11 because of numbness in his throwing hand, including the loss of feeling in his fingertips. Cora said the problem resurfaced during a bullpen session Sunday. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an uncommon injury for baseball players. It's caused by repeated motions, such as typing, and is more common among esports athletes. Price is a longtime video game enthusiast, and this season, Price and teammates have been logging long
