After a long, anticipated return, NBA basketball is finally back!! The season kicked off for the Celtics at home against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward were back, and the arena was rocking. It was a game of back and forth runs in the first half, before the Celtics pulled away and won handily 105-87.
Any win against the Sixers is a big one as they seem to be on a similar trajectory as the Celtics. The two teams saw each other in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals, and they both look to be headed back to the playoff once again this season.
