To get back to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics had to get past the league’s MVP. It was never a sure thing against Joel Embiid.The Celtics let an opportunity slip when they dropped Game 1 to the 76ers, who didn’t have Embiid as he nursed an injury.

Joe Mazzulla had to make an adjustment to limit him, inserting Robert Williams into the starting lineup as the Celtics went big to combat Embiid.It worked.
