The Sixers are a young, rapidly improving NBA team, but right now they're still finding their way — and that's how the Celtics found them in Sunday night's snow-delayed game in Philadelphia. The Cs were able to score at a blistering, league-leading rate in the first 3 quarters, before garbage time took over. (Note: The Cs' offensive rating dropped precipitously — almost — in the 4th quarter's extended garbage time, which significantly reduced the rating for the entire game.)
Meanwhile, Boston's defense operated at its usual high level, holding the Sixers to a league-worst scoring rate.
