After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers fended off the Celtics 114-105. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
