After Action Report

The Celtics took care of the 76ers 116-100. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
