After Action Report

The Celtics held off the 76ers 102-96. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
