A Big Homecoming
Paul George had a night to remember in Philadelphia on Tuesday. He hit six 3-pointers and finished with 36 points to lead the Celtics past the 76ers 123-101.
George was traded for Jaylen Brown after spending two seasons with Philadelphia. During the game, he made a bowling motion near the visitor bench after hitting his fourth 3-pointer of the night to push the lead to 100-82. That shot helped secure the ninth win in ten games for Boston.
Tatum and Brown Face Off
The game marked the first meeting between former teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown since Brown moved to Philadelphia over the summer. Both players kept quiet about their relationship before the match.
Tatum finished the night with 21 points for Boston. Brown struggled with foul trouble early on, picking up two quick fouls in the first quarter and his fourth early in the second half. He ended the game with 13 points.
Embiid and Maxey Fight On
Joel Embiid gave the home crowd a scare when he landed awkwardly on a missed layup and stayed on the court while VJ Edgecombe dunked nearby. Embiid managed to continue playing, finishing the first half as the Celtics took a 62-51 lead.
Embiid has struggled with his shot lately and missed his first two 3-point attempts before finally hitting one early in the second half. Tyrese Maxey led the scoring for Philadelphia with 24 points.
