Celtics not Garden-variety in Game 7s
We’re not talking about a Boston-Philly series that will live forever in any kind of fond memory -- not around here, anyway -- but one way or the other the Celtics and 76ers have lurched into a Game 7. And let’s just put it this way: these guys will have a lot to live up to tomorrow night.
