The Celtics are set to clash with the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after eliminating the Hawks in six games in the first round.
Jaylen Brown, who led Boston in scoring with 32 points in Game 6 in Atlanta, was asked about his team’s next opponent.
“We know they’re going to bring the fight,” the 26-year-old shooting guard said. “Philly is a tough environment to win. Their crowd gets involved into the game. It’s going to be fun.
“We already know they got some great players in Joel Embiid, James Harden and company. So it’s going to be another test again. We’re going to have to get ready to fight again. I’m up for it and I can’t wait.”
