Celtics Dominate 76ers in Blowout Victory as Philadelphia's Struggles Deepen
Boston extends its winning streak to four games, while the injury-plagued 76ers face questions about their season's direction.
- The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 124-104 in a commanding performance, marking their eighth win in nine games and seventh consecutive road victory.
- Payton Pritchard led all scorers with 28 points, including eight three-pointers, as the Celtics showcased their offensive firepower with 24 made three-pointers as a team.
- Joel Embiid and Paul George, playing together for only the 17th time this season, struggled to make an impact, with Embiid managing just 15 points and three rebounds on limited efficiency.
- The 76ers, now 20-35, have lost six straight games and sit one game out of the NBA Play-In Tournament, raising concerns about whether to rest their injured stars for the remainder of the season.
- Boston's strong form reinforces its status as a title contender, while Philadelphia faces mounting pressure to evaluate the future of its injury-hampered roster.
