After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers demolished the Celtics 124-91. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
