The Boston Celtics earned a 108-100 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, pulling away late to secure an eight-point victory. Philadelphia got a big scoring night from Tyrese Maxey, who led all players with 31 points, but Boston’s balanced top-end production and team rebounding helped decide the outcome.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown paced the Celtics with 25 points apiece, providing steady offense throughout and answering Philadelphia runs when the game tightened. The 76ers received additional scoring support from Paul George (18 points) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (17 points), but Boston’s ability to generate extra possessions and convert from the perimeter proved decisive.
From a team perspective, Boston held a rebounding edge (45-37) and finished with 21 assists, reflecting strong ball movement. Philadelphia shot 50.0% from the field (26-of-52) but relied heavily on the three-point line (12 made threes on 35 attempts), while Boston’s perimeter volume was a major factor in its scoring output.
Going forward, the Celtics can point to their two-way wing scoring and rebounding advantage as repeatable strengths, especially in close games. For the 76ers, Maxey’s production remains a clear positive, but improving consistency beyond the arc and finding ways to limit opponent second-chance opportunities will be key in similar matchups.
