After Action Report
The 76ers snuck past the Celtics 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
