Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Overview
These two teams know each other quite well by virtue of both the geographic acrimony of both cities and the divisional rivalry aspect of this series. Presently, the Celtics own a six-game winning streak as they continue to make their case as the East’s best team overall even with one of their key acquisitions Gordon Hayward has been shelved with a nasty injury sustained in their opening game. Philadelphia also enters on a high note as they have won their last four games. The Sixers look nothing like the team we have seen get beat up on for several preceding seasons. Most recently, Philly took it to MoTown in the City of Brotherly Love when they thrashed the Detroit Pistons 114-78 at home. Boston’s last win was one they had to work for as they escaped Brooklyn with an 87-85 victory, five days ago.
