Philadelphia 76ers rally to beat Celtics in NBA series

Andre Iguodala finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists as the Philadelphia 76ers rallied to beat the Boston Celtics 92-83 in game four of their Eastern Conference series. Evan Turner also had 16 points and Lou Williams finished with 15 points and eight assists for the Sixers who levelled the best-of-seven series at 2-2. Philadelphia rallied from 18 points down at one point to win it down the stretch, scoring the final nine points of the game. Paul Pierce scored a game-high 24 points and Rajon Rondo finished with 15 points and 15 assists for Boston who lost two of three games to the Sixers during the regular season. The Celtics scored the first 14 points of the game and led by 15 at halftime. Fifth seeded Boston has won five straight Atlantic Division crowns since bringing in future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to team with Pierce. They punched their ticket to the second round by eliminating fourth-seeded Atlanta in six games. Philadelphia also advanced in six games, becoming just the fifth eight-seed in NBA history to dispose of a number one by ousting the injury-plagued Chicago Bulls.
