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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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