Celtics defeat shorthanded 76ers 125-119 despite Tatum’s third quarter ejection
Photo by Maddie Meyer/ Al Horford scored a season-high 20 points, Derrick White had 21, and the Celtics executed down the stretch to pull away from an Embiid and Maxey-less 76ers team. When ESPN first scheduled the 76ers-Celtics game for a Friday night national TV matchup, the network likely envisioned a showdown between several of the league’s brightest stars — Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis.

The In-Season Tournament has potential but needs some tweaks
Luke Kornet is fired up. Are you? | Photo by Brian Fluharty/ I like it more than I initially thought I would, but it’s not quite a finished product. Imagine for a second that the year is 2030.
