The Boston Celtics will be taking on the Philadelphia 76ers today as they look to keep things going strong. Boston is coming off a big win over the New Orleans Pelicans where star Jayson Tatum hit a game-winning shot.

Tatum and Jaylen Brown played the entire second half as Boston fought back against a feisty Philadelphia squad that shot 46.9 percent from 3-point range without three usual starters including Joel Embiid and Paul George. Ultimately, Boston’s hot shooting and improved defensive intensity turned the game around after Mazzulla’s halftime speech.

After falling behind by 26 points late in the third quarter against a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team missing both Joel Embiid and Paul George, Boston stormed back in the fourth quarter to earn a 118-110 win.

The Celtics overcame a 26-point second-half deficit and beat the short-handed 76ers 118-110. The post Jayson Tatum leads Celtics back from 26-point deficit to beat 76ers: 8 takeaways appeared first on Boston.
