After Action Report
The 76ers buried the Celtics 145-81. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
