Boston Celtics 113-96 Philadelphia 76ers


After a first victory of the Celtics a few days ago (110-102), the time was come for the revenge for the Sixers, who found for the occasion Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric or even Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot. But there is a class of discrepancy between the two Teams, and without his "Big Three" left to rest, Boston has easily imposed itself against opponents clearly lacking reference (113-96).
From the start of the game, the Celtics' back line takes the game to his own account. The duo Rozier-Smart (27 points combined) is highlighted and allows the locals to lead quietly by 17 points at the end of the first 12 minutes (37-20). The 76ers stammer their basketball in attack, and they can not find a defensive solution to brake the collective already well-roamed their opponent of the day.
The Celtics are easily found, they dominate in the painting (52 rebounds including 10 offensive) but also in defense (19 losses caused). In short, Boston dominates in all sectors, and the second knives take advantage of it to prove themselves: Guerschon Yabusele is everywhere with 7 pts, 5 rbds, 3 cts and 3 ints, while Abdel Nader (15 points) walks around like electron free in attack.
Only blackhead: the exit on wound of Aron Baynes, touched to the knee. But this stroke will not prevent Boston from flying over the third quarter with a gap that will reach 33 points (84-51).

In front, the number 1 of the last draft, Markton Fultz (12 points) alternated the good and the frankly less good. Sixth man for his return, he tried to take the game to his account. Agile in penetration and regular in his shot midway, he will sign a nice comeback in this game (8 points in 6 minutes). But it will not go away, and it will sink like his teammates. In lack of references in the collective of the 76ers, he played intermittently and especially he evolves like a soloist where Ben Simmons seeks first to make his teammates shine.
