In Philadelphia, the 76ers snuck past the Celtics 112-110. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
