Boston Celtics 110-102 Philadelphia 76ers


Second defeat for the Sixers and second win for the Celtics. Kyrie Irving (21 points) took Boston to victory, assisted by Terry Rozier (13 points) and Aron Baynes (12 points, 5 rebounds) on the bench. Brad Stevens's men did the job, with good passages from Jaylen Brown (10 points) and Jayson Tatum (9 points, 5 rebounds), who made a big dunk in penetration. Guerschon Yabusele (4 points, 8 rebounds) also participated in the success of the Celts.

Sixers, Ben Simmons (8 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 interceptions but 5 lost balls) still led the offensive game but it did not always take. On some sequences, it was rather attractive with a coast-to-coast finished right hand despite the fall (and no call!) ...
Without Markelle Fultz (shoulder), Joel Embiid who did the 5 against 5 in training yesterday, the Sixers lacked options. Jerryd Bayless (15 points) finishes best scorer for Philly.
