http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/05/philadelphia_76ers_sensational.html#incart_hbx FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Rajon Rondo had 18 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 85-75 in Game 7 on Saturday night to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics will open the third round of the NBA playoffs in Miami against the Heat on Monday night. Rondo scored nine straight Boston points after Paul Pierce fouled out with 4:16 left in the game, helping the Celtics turn a three-point edge into a double-digit lead. Andre Iguodala scored 18 points, and Elton Brand and Jrue Holiday had 15 apiece for the 76ers, who eliminated the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in the first round but couldn't do the same with the Celtics.
