After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Celtics squeaked past the 76ers 106-101. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
