Joel Embiid reached 30 points for a third straight game as the Philadelphia 76ers won 115-103 at the Boston Celtics to leave the defending Eastern Conference champions on the brink of elimination from the play-offs.
Embiid scored 33 points and Tyrese Maxey contributed 30 for Philadelphia, who lead the best-of-seven series 3-2.
The 76ers would reach the conference finals for the first time since 2001 if they can secure victory in Philadelphia today.
Jayson Tatum led Boston's scoring with 36 points, with Jaylen Brown adding 24, but the 76ers never trailed after the first quarter as they improved to 4-1 on the road in the post-season.
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets beat the Phoenix Suns 118-102 to move 3-2 up in their Western Conference semi-final.
