Paul George talks defending Celtics stars in Round 1 playoff series

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers have climbed all the way back from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7 with the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. They have completely neutralized Boston's offensive schemes as Joel Embiid is causing havoc in the paint while Paul George is leading the charge on the perimeter. George is having a terrific series as he's averaging 18.

2 points and 4. 2 rebounds while shooting a ridiculous 54. 3% from deep.

He's putting up those big offensive numbers while also having to defend Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown at a high level. Speaking of Tatum and Brown, they're both getting their numbers in this series. Tatum is averaging 24.

5 points and Brown is averaging 23. 3 points, but everything has been tough. Nothing has been easy and the Sixers can live with that.
