After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers held off the Celtics 118-110. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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. Style points be damned.
