After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers shocked the Celtics 120-81. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
