76ers Force Game 7

It certainly wasn't pretty at times, but in the end, Philadelphia got it done, winning Game 6 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series with the Celtics 82-75 to force a decisive Game 7 back in Boston on Saturday.

With both teams playing top-notch defensive games, and struggling to shoot all game long (Celtics shot 33% for the game, while Philly missed 11 free throws), PG Jrue Holiday and the Sixers' continual dribble penetration in the second half (including Andre Iguodala's sick dunk in video below) proved to be the difference. Holiday finished with 20 points and 6 assists, outplaying Boston PG Rajon Rondo, while Elton Brand banged around to score 13 points and grab 10 rebounds. Paul Pierce had 24 points and Kevin Garnett added 20 for Boston, but they fail to close out a series on the road yet again.
