After Action Report
The 76ers snuck past the Celtics 102-98. Every possession went the 76ers way. The 76ers sent shots into the fifth row all night; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
