After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Celtics 130-106. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell; 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
