The Boston Celtics dropped their second straight home game Thursday night as they fell to the Philadelphia 76ers 89-80.
Dealing with the absence of its best offensive player, the Celtics weren’t able to generate a consistent offensive flow. In London they were able to erase a 22-point deficit against the Sixers, and drew as close as seven tonight, but weren’t able to come all the way back.
As many of us knew heading into this game, Celtics legend Jo Jo White passed away Tuesday from brain cancer. White won two championships with the Celtics(‘74 and ‘76) and was a Finals MVP(‘76) as well.
