Celtics spoil Embiid MVP moment

Jaylen Brown added 23 points and Al Horford scored 17 for the Celtics, who regained home-court advantage with a second straight victory after dropping Game 1 in Boston. They kept the momentum going on an emotional night in Philadelphia, where Sixers center Joel Embiid accepted his Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy from NBA commissioner Adam Silver in a pregame ceremony. Embiid scored 30 points with 13 rebounds and four blocked shots in his second game back from a sprained knee. Harden connected on just three of 14 shots on the way to 16 points while Maxey scored 13 points on 4-for-16 shooting. The Celtics made sure the feel-good moment didn't last.
