After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the 76ers 130-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
