After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the 76ers 119-105. Celtics' offense had its way with the 76ers. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
