After Action Report

The 76ers held off the Celtics 107-101. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
