Then Grimes kept pressuring the Boston Celtics\u2019 superstar guard, who labored his way up the floor before taking an off-balance midrange jumper at the end of the shot clock. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">The sequence was symbolic of the tenacity it took for the <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/\">76ers<\/a> to pull ahead to victory in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, keeping their season alive. It also came right after Grimes hit one of his four three-pointers, part of an 18-point effort as a much-needed bench spark and closer in a successful three-guard lineup. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Grimes\u2019 breakout performance was a notable late-series development for a Sixers team \u2014 which will again try to avoid elimination in Thursday\u2019s Game 6 at Xfinity Mobile Arena \u2014 that had been overwhelmed by Boston\u2019s bench in their first four playoff matchups. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cObviously, he gave us a great lift on both ends,\u201d coach <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/nick-nurse\">Nick Nurse<\/a> said of Grimes on Wednesday. \u201c \u2026 I\u2019m glad he kind of looked more like himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p type-interstitial text-primary\"><b>\u00bb READ MORE:<!-- --> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-type=\"interstitial\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/sixers-joel-embiid-quentin-grimes-tyrese-maxey-boston-celtics-nba-playoffs-20260429.html\" class=\"no-underline text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\">Inside Game 5\u2019s fourth quarter, which kept the Sixers\u2019 season alive: \u2018I didn\u2019t want to go home\u2019<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Entering Game 5 on Tuesday, the Celtics\u2019 bench had outscored the Sixers, 149-86, with an eye-popping plus\/minus difference of plus-30 vs. minus-25. Nurse was asked after Sunday\u2019s lopsided Game 4 loss if it was time to consider introducing a new rotation player with X factor potential in this matchup. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Turns out the jolt came from a second-unit mainstay in Grimes, while reserve teammates around him have shuffled throughout the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Grimes had accumulated 15 total points across Games 1 through 3, primarily because of low shot volume rather than inefficiency. When asked after the series opener about not attempting a shot until the fourth quarter, the 25-year-old combo guard matter-of-factly said, \u201cIt be like that sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Nurse echoed that scoring opportunities had not often presented themselves to Grimes earlier in the series. Still, the coach encouraged the Sixers to push the ball ahead to Grimes, and Grimes to \u201cvault up and shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cI just kept telling him to be aggressive,\u201d Nurse added. \u201c \u2026 We need your shooting, man. You\u2019ve got to shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Grimes scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor in Game 4. Though a forgettable on-the-surface stat line in a Sixers dud, it also was perhaps some foreshadowing that Grimes could be a beneficiary of <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/joel-embiid\">Joel Embiid<\/a>\u2019s <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/nba-playoffs-sixers-joel-embiid-status-game-4-celtics-20260426.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/nba-playoffs-sixers-joel-embiid-status-game-4-celtics-20260426.html\">return from an appendectomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Nailing a three-pointer through contact \u2014 and the free throw to complete the four-point play \u2014 on Grimes\u2019 first attempt midway through Tuesday\u2019s first quarter provided a confidence boost noticeable to Nurse and teammates. All-Star point guard <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/tyrese-maxey\">Tyrese Maxey<\/a> began calling plays for Grimes, and Embiid used his presence to free him up from beyond the arc. Grimes hit two more deep shots during a critical third-quarter stint, helping the Sixers close the gap before dominating the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cHe just helps with the spacing,\u201d Embiid said of Grimes. \u201cNow [the defense has] got to make a decision, whether it\u2019s double me, which they\u2019re probably still going to do. We just trust him to knock down those wide-open shots, and he did that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Nurse also believes that shot-making bolstered Grimes on the opposite end of the floor, where stout perimeter defense is required against scoring wings Brown and Jayson Tatum, plus dangerous outside shooters such as Payton Pritchard.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inq-card-carousel-wrapper

class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Grimes has built a reputation as a ferocious defender, dating back to his college days under Kelvin Sampson at Houston and while beginning his NBA career under Tom Thibodeau with the New York Knicks. His mentality while sticking with Brown up the length of the court: \u201cI didn\u2019t want to go home. I didn\u2019t want it to be the last game.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cI\u2019m just trying to make this as hard as possible for him,\u201d Grimes added. \u201cAnd luckily, he kind of took a bad shot \u2026 [If] we string along stops like that, and score like that on the offensive end, it makes us pretty dangerous, for sure.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Added Maxey: \u201cHe just guarded his tail off the entire night.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">It will be interesting to monitor if Nurse continues to tinker with the Sixers\u2019 personnel in another must-win in Game 6. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Since Embiid returned, Andre Drummond has been the backup center and Adem Bona has shifted out of the rotation. Forward Dominick Barlow, a part-time regular-season starter and typically strong pairing with Embiid, did not play in Game 3 and logged 17 combined minutes across Games 4 and 5. Second-year wing Justin Edwards was out of the rotation in Game 5. <\/p>\n<div class=\"inquirer-custom-embed-container mb-6 last:mb-0 \">\n<div data-article-element-name=\"stand-out-box\" class=\"standout-box-container\" id=\"custom-embed-1776339447304\">\n<div class=\"ce-sob-box-section\" data-section-index=\"0\">\n<div class=\"ce-sob-standout-box\">\n<div class=\"ce-sob-section-heading\">\n<div class=\"ce-sob-logo-container\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" src=\"https:\/\/media.inquirer.com\/newsletters\/circle_outline_footer_light_theme.png\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n<p>        NBA playoffs: Sixers vs. Celtics\n      <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yet Grimes has remained, allowing a quiet start to this series to evolve into a Game 5 breakout. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Grimes described his regular season \u2014 when he averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists but shot a career-low 33.4% from three-point range \u2014 as \u201csolid.\u201d This also is a final personal statement, of sorts, for Grimes. He will enter unrestricted free agency this summer after a messy restricted free agency last offseason resulted in him taking his one-year qualifying offer for 2025-26.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s effort is a significant reason that Grimes and the Sixers get at least one more game. A repeat performance Thursday would be a boon for a Sixers bench that has been overmatched for the bulk of this series. <\/p>\n<p>There was no better example than that individual defensive stand against Brown. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be tired tomorrow. That\u2019s cool,\u201d Grimes said late Tuesday. \u201cBut right now, we\u2019ve got to give it our all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/sixers-quentin-grimes-game-6-celtics-jaylen-brown-20260430.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to article \u2022\u00a00:00 min Quentin Grimes put his body on Jaylen Brown as he lost his grip on the basketball in the backcourt.
