For the most part, the Boston Celtics appeared to be in control of their game against the Philadelphia 76ers. However, there were moments when Nick Nurse’s team created momentum and pulled themselves back into the contest. However, with the Sixers having shaved the Celtics lead to just two points in the fourth quarter, we saw Joe Mazzulla’s team crank things up a notch.
A 15-0 run sealed Boston’s ninth consecutive win. It also reminded everyone that this team has another gear, perhaps a couple of extra gears, that they can shift into when their backs are against the wall, and they’re looking to close out a tight game.
