After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Celtics survived the 76ers 124-121. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
