Celtics Beat 76ers By 34 In Embiid Return!! Series Tied 1-1


Listen Later

WOW. The Celtics blow out the 76ers 121-87 in Embiid's return. This was a game where Payton Pritchard out scored Jayson Tatum too. Go figure. We'll start here and be done with negatives but Tatum was bad. He got in foul trouble early and never got into a rhythm. He only played 19 minutes tonight and scored 7pts on 1-7 from the field. Outside of him, this was as beautiful as it gets. JB got us going early with 13pts in the first quarter to start his 25pt night and was the steady hand for the Celtics most of the night. Our 3 guard trio was spectacular tonight. Marcus Smart was excellent on both sides of the ball and carried a lot of the scoring load at times when the Celtics really needed a bucket and was bodying guys in the paint. Brogdon scored 23pts in this one on 7-15 from the field and 6-10 from 3. He was unstoppable. Derrick White only scored 5pts on 1-4 from the the field but turned on the jets in the 3rd quarter and added another 10. JB, White and Brogdon combined for 28pts in that 3rd quarter alone and fueled a 35-16 quarter!

Horford shot horribly but was excellent defensively in this one adding another 2blks and stl. Timelord also added 3blks in his 22min but the best big in my opinion tonight was Grant Williams. He played 29min in this one now that Embiid was back and we saw some really big lineups with Harris, Embiid and Reed and Grant feasted. He added 12pts on 4-8 from 3 along with 4ast and 1stl with an excellent defensive game as well. Last game we were crushed by the zone defense, and the high pick and roll with Harden. Mazzula completely switched up the game plan in this one and instead of running Tatum at the FT line extended to beat the zone, we had Brogdon, JB and Smart attack the heart of the defense off the dribble and it worked wonders. Defensively, instead of switching everything and leaving Horford stranded against Embiid, we fought through everything tonight and stuck with the matchups that we wanted. Offensively and defensively, this game was perfection. Time to carry this into game 3 on Friday night and take back home court advantage!
