We thought this would be set up for a schedule loss for the Sixers, but had some hope when it was announced that Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis would be out for Boston. Despite missing those two starters, the Celtics ended the first quarter with a 27-8 run to take a large double-digit lead over Philadelphia. The Sixers charged back in the second quarter to retake control, but after a back-and-forth second half, the Celtics pulled away with about four minutes left, eventually winning 117-107.
