After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the 76ers 127-117. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
