After Action Report
In Boston, the 76ers pulled away from the Celtics 120-108. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
