🏆 76ers Stun Celtics 4-3 in Historic Game 7 Comeback

Joel Embiid (34 pts) and Tyrese Maxey (30 pts) led the No. 7 Sixers past the No. 2 Celtics 109-100 in Boston, completing only the 14th 3-1 series comeback in NBA history. Philly heads to the East semis to face the Knicks.

🚨 Michael Malone Takes Over at UNC

The 2023 NBA champion coach has signed a six-year, $50M deal at North Carolina to replace Hubert Davis. He's already locked in transfer commits Terrence Brown (Utah) and Neoklis Avdalas (Virginia Tech) — though leading scorer Caleb Wilson is now in the portal.

Sunday Game 7 Triple-Header

Cavaliers-Raptors and Pistons-Magic both go winner-take-all today after the Raptors and Pistons forced Game 7s on the road. RJ Barrett's go-ahead OT triple kept Toronto alive, while Cade Cunningham erased a 24-point deficit in Orlando — the largest comeback by a road team facing elimination since 1996-97.
