In the NBA season 2022-2023, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 116-115 in Philadelphia trying to win the NBA finals. Two of the best Philadelphia 76ers stars, Joel Embiid and James Harden, scored a total score of 76 points altogether. They were very good and both players won MVP. Every point mattered in the game.

How did this happen? Well you see, before the game ever started, Coach Doc Rivers sent a Gospel song called “You Know My Name”. This motivated the 76ers to win. The song meant that everyone on earth had a strong relationship with God. Embiid thought that he was terrible when he wasn’t. Embiid said “We know we didn’t play our best. And I was terrible tonight. I gotta be better. And I will be better.” Although Embiid thought he was bad, he still scored a lot of points.

At the start, the 76ers had a huge advantage having a 14-point lead. At the end of the first half, the 76ers were winning 59-50. In game 4, with less than 1 minute on the clock, the 76ers won 116-115.
