Tyrese Maxey powered the Philadelphia 76ers past the Orlando Magic on April 15, clinching a postseason matchup against the Boston Celtics in the opening round.
The win, driven by Maxey’s team-leading performance, locked Philadelphia into a playoff bracket that renews one of the NBA’s most storied rivalries. The Celtics and 76ers will meet in the first round for the first time since their previous postseason encounter, adding fresh significance to this year’s Eastern Conference slate.
Philadelphia used Maxey’s scoring burst to pull away from Orlando and close out the regular season on a high note. The result eliminated any remaining doubt about the Sixers’ seeding and confirmed Boston as their next opponent.
Details on game scheduling were not immediately released, but the best-of-seven series is expected to open at TD Garden, home of the higher-seeded Celtics.
