In the second quarter, the Celtics continued to make the same mistakes. A weak defense that gave way to Embiid and Harris combined with a ponderous offense enabled the Sixers to increase their lead to 15 points (27-42) in the first two minutes of the second quarter, after a 0-10 run for the visitors. .
Brown was still the only one from Boston who really seemed to want the win.
The Locals responded with a 10-0 run on eight straight free throws that put them five points behind the Sixers, 37-42.
But it was a mirage. Without Tatum and Holford’s points, between the two having missed the nine triples they shot, the Sixers posted a 0-7 run and took the distance again on the scoreboard, 41-51.
Tatum’s first three-pointer came with 1:26 minutes before the break. When the players went to the dressing room, the score was up 49-58.
