[Gennosuke]

Sixers 0 - 7 from 3pt range. Celtics not much better at 1 - 9.

[Gennosuke]

76ers end 1st quarter down 28 - 22 after shooting 0 for 9 on 3 pointers.

[Gennosuke]

Batum drains the Sixers' first 3 ball to pull them within 2.

[BelmontShore]

Up and down start for the starters, struggling with the quickness and athleticism of the Celtics. Nurse goes with the athletic bench and they make a strong move to climb back in, 35-33 before a 3 makes it 38-33.

[BelmontShore]

BBall Paul with a nice run, 6pts, 4rebs in 5 mins.

[BelmontShore]

Melton is just too inconsistent and you can't rely on him as a SG vs teams like the Celtics.

[BelmontShore]

Melton comes back in and immediately hits a transition 3. Lol.

[Gennosuke]

Maxey with only 1 assist, but he has played well so far against a team he's had trouble against in his career.

[BelmontShore]

Impressive 2nd Q begun by the 2nd unit and then the starters late. Strong 2nd Q defensive effort and more efficient offense, 61-54.
