After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the 76ers 127-97. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
