V.J. Edgecombe had 30 points and 10 rebounds while playing through pain after taking a hard fall on his back early in the game, Tyrese Maxey scored 29 points and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 111-97 on Tuesday night to tie their playoff series at one game apiece. Edgecombe made six of the 76ers' 19 3-pointers. Maxey also had nine assists as Philadelphia bounced back after getting blown out 123-91 in Game 1. Edgecombe is the first rookie to record at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game since Tim Duncan on May 5, 1998.The series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Friday.I think we knew where the shots were going to come from," Edgecombe said. "We kept trusting each other. Everyone can make a play on the court. ... They wanted me to shoot the ball. The Celtics cut a seven-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to 91-89 before an 11-0 run put the 76ers back in front 102-89 with just over four minutes to play. The Celtics pulled their starters with a little more than a minute remaining. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 36 points. Jayson Tatum added 19 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists.I thought Edgecombe was just too comfortable, Brown said. He's a rookie, but he can play. We've got to be better on him.After struggling from the field in Game 1, the 76ers needed much more from Maxey and Edgecombe. They got it, with the pair carrying the load for a team that shot 47.8% from the field, including 19 of 39 from the 3-point line.I grab (Edgecombe) and Tyrese together a lot and remind them to be super aggressive, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said. "Fire it up there, like keep shooting no matter what. Boston was only 13 of 47 from the 3-point line and shot 39.3% from the field overall, while committing 13 turnovers leading to 16 points by the 76ers.Philadelphia, which was again without center Joel Embiid for Game 2 as he continues to go through a strength and conditioning program following an appendectomy on April 9, was twice without Edgecombe for brief stretches Tuesday.Edgecombe limped off in noticeable pain and went straight to the locker room for treatment in both the first and third quarters.He returned each time and kept scoring to help the 76ers build as much as a 13-point lead in the third. The intensity was high throughout the game. It hit a high point in the opening minutes when Brown was assessed a technical foul after his emphatic one-handed dunk over Adem Bona that sent the 76ers big man to the floor. Replays appeared to show that Browns momentum after the jam carried him into contact with Bona, who fell to the floor and left Brown in a hovering position over him. But referee Marc Davis didnt see it that way and called Brown for the tech. ___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba

The flailing Mets returned home Tuesday to a quieter reception than manager Carlos Mendoza and his players anticipated with the club trying to snap an 11-game losing streak.The tone changed once it became clear the skid was going to last at least another night.Embattled closer Devin Williams allowed a tiebreaking RBI single to Luke Keaschall in the ninth inning and New York lost its 12th straight, falling 5-3 to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.With an opening-day payroll of $352.2 million that tops the majors, the Mets have baseball's worst record at 7-16. The skid is their longest since they dropped 12 straight from Aug. 10-23, 2002. No team has made the playoffs after a season in which it lost 12 in a row.New York is hitting .194 during the losing streak while being outscored 67-22. The Mets didnt have slugger Juan Soto for any of that stretch, but he is expected to come off the injured list Wednesday after missing the last 16 games with a strained right calf.Ive never been a part of something like this, Williams said. I think we just need to get the one win out of the way and I think everything else will take care of itself. But its obviously proving pretty difficult right now.Williams, who failed to record an out, was booed off the mound by what was left of the announced crowd of 32,798. The actual crowd appeared far smaller on a night when the temperature at first pitch was 46 degrees Fahrenheit (8 Celsius).At least a few spectators showed their displeasure with the time-honored tradition of wearing paper bags over their heads.Fans began chanting Fire Mendy! as Williams loaded the bases. Austin Warren relieved Williams and received an ovation when he struck out Royce Lewis. The crowd then chanted his name after he struck out the next two batters, Brooks Lee and Byron Buxton.The mood was far lighter a few hours earlier.Patrick Heaney, the only person in section 524 at Citi Field shortly before the start of the game, grinned as he gazed at a sea of empty seats.You wouldnt be here tonight if you werent a Met fan, Heaney said.Shortstop Francisco Lindor said following Sundays 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs that he expected it to get very loud Tuesday night. But the fans didnt make much noise until the third inning, when Lindor hit a three-run homer to open the scoring and give the Mets their biggest lead since a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on April 5.I think if they can get it going today, I think the fans will rally around them, said Josh Hudson, a Tennessee resident in town for business who was sitting in section 509 with a $15 ticket he bought on the secondary market.Heaney, a resident of Malverne on Long Island who wore a Mets hat and 2022 playoff sweatshirt, grinned as he recalled how he ended up buying a $12 ticket and heading to the game alone.I couldnt get my wife to come, Heaney said. I couldnt get my kids to come. I couldnt get my friends to come. I bought one ticket, the cheapest one I could find, and Im going to see if I can help them turn it around.Mendoza, in his third season as manager after six seasons on the Yankees coaching staff, said before the game he wouldnt mind a frosty reception because he knows how fans will react if the team fares better.Theyre also going to be right behind you when we flip it around, Mendoza said. Weve seen that before, too, so its nothing new for us that have been here. We expect those guys to continue to support us, but weve got to do better for them, too.Its all part of it. It comes with the territory. Wouldnt want it any other way.___This story has been corrected.
