On a team that has lacked consistent perimeter efficiency, Seth Curry's shooting is exactly what Philly NEEDS to survive

A dominant third quarter was enough to lift Philadelphia over Atlanta and force a Game 7. Trae Young had another impressive night with 34 points and 12 assists, but it wasn’t enough to top the Sixers, Philly had three players score 20+ points. Seth Curry nailed six deep balls, and both Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris were efficient on the night as well. Curry was 66.7% from beyond the arc, and his sharpshooting was a key factor in picking up the road win. The series will now head back to Philly for an enticing winner-take-all Game 7.
SETH CURRY’S SHOOTING IS EXACTLY WHAT PHILLY NEEDS TO SURVIVE
COLORS KEY | FULL 76ERS OUTLOOK
The Philadelphia 76ers have lacked a consistent perimeter shooter this postseason with the exception of Seth Curry. He now has the most games played (four) with five or more made threes at a clip of 50% or greater during a single playoff series in NBA history. This sharpshooting is what helped Philly force a Game 7 vs. Atlanta, and is a key reason their No.1 seed season is still alive.
Curry has made 4.7 threes per game this series, and it has proven to be a critical reason for Philly’s success thus far. They’ll need more of it to clinch a spot in the conference finals as the rest of the team can’t be relief upon consistently like the greatest 3-point shooter ever‘s little brother can be.
