1. The big takeaway from this one? What a game. This was a treat on Christmas Day. These two teams seem to continually bring out the best in each other, even if the results have been decidedly slanted towards Boston recently.
2. While the Jimmy Butler trade was the right thing for Philadelphia long-term, it has had some negative short-term impacts. One of those is that the Sixers are almost always left with a poor defender on the floor. Whether that is JJ Redick, Mike Muscala, Landry Shamet or Furkan Korkmaz, there is always at least one place for the offense to attack.
