It’s all fun and games when you have a 20-point lead. And for the most part, it’s all fun and games when Kevin Hart is involved. So it was twice as fun and twice as many games when the 76ers held a 20-point lead in Game 2 of their second-round series against the Celtics with the vaunted comedian sitting courtside.
Kevin Hart laughed at the Celtics. Then Boston erased a 22-point deficit to win Game 2
Life came at Kevin Hart and the 76ers pretty quickly. Boston erased a 22-point deficit to take Game 2.
And then, Kevin Hart messed up.
Jaylen Brown went to the free throw line with Boston down, 51-31, and he airballed a foul shot. Look at Kevin Hart’s reaction.
Here’s the thing: That was the last time Philly’s lead was safe.
After Hart pointed at Brown and laughed, the Celtics caught fire and went on a massive run. From the 4:54 mark when Brown was at the line through the end of the game, Boston outscored Philadelphia, 77-52. The Sixers stayed ahead for awhile, especially when they subbed out Ben Simmons for T.J. McConnell, but Boston battled back.
It’s all fun and games until your hometown team blows a lead. Kevin Hart learned the hard way. Hopefully, he doesn’t make this mistake again.
