The Sixers sure gave Philadelphia a nice present on Christmas Day. With a strong performance from a masked Joel Embiid, a huge 33-point and 12-assist showing from Tyrese Maxey, and a 23-point night with seven made triples from Caleb Martin leading the way, the Sixers earned an excellent 118-114 win against the Celtics.
It’s the kind of win the Sixers could start building some real momentum and belief from, although they may not have all their stars as they look to continue this on Saturday night as they head on the road to Utah.
