After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Celtics 127-104. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
