After Action Report
The 76ers stunned the Celtics 101-97. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
