The Philadelphia 76ers continued their impressive form by securing a 106-103 victory over the Boston Celtics in a thrilling matchup.
Reigning MVP Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 27 points and 10 rebounds, while Tyrese Maxey contributed 25 points and nine assists.
The win marked the sixth consecutive victory for the 76ers, establishing them as the sole 6-1 team in the Eastern Conference.
Despite a strong performance from Kristaps Porzingis, who scored 29 points for the Celtics, and Derrick White’s return after missing two games, the Celtics couldn’t secure the win.
The victory for the 76ers holds significance as it comes in their first matchup against the Celtics since their dramatic Eastern Conference semifinal series last season. The Sixers held a 3-2 series lead but ultimately lost in Games 6 and 7.
Both teams entered the game with impressive 5-1 records, and the Sixers managed to pass this critical test, continuing their winning streak and making a statement in the Eastern Conference.
