After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Celtics blew the doors off the 76ers 118-85. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
