Celtics name Derrick White in Game 7 starting five

Multiple changes to the Celtics’ starting lineup: Derrick White Jaylen Brown Baylor Scheierman Ron Harper Jr. Luka Garza

Sixers lead 55-50 at the half. - Dominant half from Embiid (19-5-5). - Maxey with 7 assists, but they need him to be more aggressive as a scorer - Sick performance from PG (10 pts on 5 shots). - Derrick White's 19 keeping Boston in it.

Derrick White's hands are so hot, he got a burn from shooting the ball?

The big number at halftime is 19! That is - The number of points Joel Embiid has to lead 76ers - The number of points Derrick White has to lead Celtics - The amount of points the 76ers are outscoring the Celtics by with Jaylen Brown on the floor in the first half of Game 7

Halftime: Sixers 55, Celtics 50. Joel Embiid pulled off an absolutely insane block on Jaylen Brown at the rim, one of the absolute best of his career. Tyrese Maxey hit a mid-range jumper to pay it off. Then Derrick White is blocked at the rim. Incredible end-of-half sequence.

PHI leads BOS 55-50 at the half. Joel Embiid: 19 PTS, 5 AST VJ Edgecombe: 12 PTS, 2 3PM Derrick White: 19 PTS, 4 3PM Jaylen Brown: 13 PTS, 3 REB 📺 2nd half LIVE on NBC & Peacock: www.nba.com/how-to-watch...

Seems like a risk for the Celtics to go with a starting lineup that's never played together before in a Game 7 but Joe Mazzulla knows this group has championship experience and pedigree

Celtics rookie Hugo Gonzalez has given them an emotional boost, and Derrick White finally has some rhythm offensively. Crowd is juiced. This is the first Boston punch the Sixers need to withstand. Boston back within 34-27 at the 9:51 mark.

Sixers with a nice response after the Celtics threw a haymaker. Derrick White has awoken and Boston is starting to cash in on their open threes. I'm not sure if Joel Embiid can sit the rest of the night.

Derrick White bleeds, Derrick White shoots flames! Coincidence? I don't think so ☘️
