After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers fended off the Celtics 103-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
