In the long arc of franchise rivalries and the weight of decades, the Philadelphia 76ers did something on Sunday night that hadn't been done since 1982: they eliminated the Boston Celtics from the playoffs. Down three games to one — a deficit that has buried nearly every team that has faced it — Philadelphia found in Joel Embiid and in collective resolve something that transcended the odds. It is a reminder that in sport, as in life, the story is never fully written until the final moment.
