After Action Report
The 76ers held off the Celtics 114-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
