After Action Report
The 76ers blew the doors off the Celtics 111-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
