After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Celtics 135-100. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
