A look at the Celtics-76ers schedule
Game 1 is Monday and Game 2 is Thursday, then after that there's action every other day.
The wait is over. The power of “The Process” is in full effect, and the undermanned Celtics are still alive after outlasting the Bucks in seven games.
No. 2 seed Boston and No. 3 seed Philadelphia battle in the Eastern Conference semifinals starting Monday night in Boston, kicking off one of the more highly anticipated series in recent memory. The winner will face the top-seeded Raptors or fourth-seeded Cavaliers in the conference finals.
Philadelphia dismantled the Heat in five games in the first round, and it’s now won 20 of 21 dating back to the regular season. Boston, meanwhile, has prevailed in just six of 13 games in April.
The Celtics are looking to advance to the conference finals for the second-consecutive year, while the 76ers are hoping to do so for the first time since the height of the Allen Iverson era in 2001.
Games 1 and 2 are in Boston, 3 and 4 are in Philadelphia, and the location alternates the rest of the way if necessary. Here’s a look at the series schedule:
Game 1: Monday, April 30, 8 p.m., TNT
Game 2: Thursday, May 3, 8:30 p.m., TNT
Game 3: Saturday, May 5, 5 p.m., ESPN
