After Action Report
The 76ers outlasted the Celtics 103-95. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
