After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Celtics 113-105. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
