Sixers end Celtics run to claim conference title
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 120 to 106 to win the Eastern Conference title in seven games. Andrew Toney led with 34 points, Julius Erving added 29, and Caldwell Jones contributed strong rebounding as Philadelphia erased Friday’s loss and reached the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics, hampered by 22 turnovers and a poor shooting night, saw Larry Bird score 20 and Robert Parish 22 in defeat.
