After Action Report

The 76ers edged the Celtics 116-107. 76ers' offense had its way with the Celtics. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
