The Celtics fall to 0-1 after a last-second 117-116 defeat from the 76ers. The Celtics were in control of the game throughout but dropped the ball in crunch time.
To open the game, the starting lineup was what we saw for most of the preseason. Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, and Neemias Queta. There were a lot of questions as to who would be the starter between Hauser and Simons, and to open the season, Mazzulla went with Hauser.
We saw a lot of new things from the Celtics offense, starting with the center position.
