After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the 76ers 122-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
