The series is currently tied up at 2-2, as both teams have won once on the road and once at home.    

In Game 4, the Celtics had a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead, but the 76ers were able to win 116-115 in overtime (at home in Philadelphia). 

James Harden was brilliant with 42 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, four steals and one block  

He also nailed the game-winning three-pointer with 18.2 seconds left in overtime. 

The Celtics had a chance to win the game, but were unable to get a shot off before the buzzer sounded (Marcus Smart made a three-pointer that was too late). 

The winner of Tuesday's game will take a 3-2 lead back to Philadelphia for Game 6 on Thursday. 

If there is a Game 7, it will be in Boston on Sunday. 

In the first round, the 76ers swept the Brooklyn Nets, while the Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games. 

Whoever wins the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face off against either the Miami Heat or the New York Knicks.
