After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics took care of the 76ers 113-103. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
