Edgecombe makes History as Sixers Level Series

VJ Edgecombe delivered a standout performance as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics in Game 2 to level the series at 1-1.

Edgecombe finished with over 30 points and 10 rebounds, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to reach those numbers in a playoff game. At 20 or younger, he is only the second player to do it, joining Magic Johnson. He is also the first rookie to hit those marks in the playoffs since Tim Duncan in 1998.

Alongside him, Tyrese Maxey added 29 points and nine assists, while Paul George contributed 19 points in the win.

The result sees Philadelphia respond after losing Game 1, taking a road win to bring the series level heading into the next game.
