Daily News | Doc Rivers stresses hard, smart play as Sixers approach Game 5 with Celtics
A crucial Game 5 awaits the 76ers on Tuesday night in their deadlocked Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Celtics in Boston. Sixers coach Doc Rivers acknowledged the importance of a victory, but he pointed out that it’s just as vital for the home team.
A win in the 7:30 p.m. contest at TD Garden would give the Sixers a three-games-to-two lead in the best-of-seven series. It would put them in position to close out the series Thursday in Game 6 at the Wells Fargo Center. “We’re not thinking about last year or the year before. That’s wasted energy,” said Rivers, who is in his third season coaching the Sixers. “What is that going to do? It’s not even the same teams playing. We don’t even have half the guys that were here, but the will to want to win and advance is big. You’ve got to make sure that doesn’t overtake your brain.”The Sixers would definitely get a boost Tuesday if James Harden plays well.
