The new-look Celtics came away with a 112-101 win in to move to 2-1 on the preseason. It was their second consecutive preseason win against the Philadelphia 76ers, who dropped to 0-2 for the preseason.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown sat this one out, as did Joel Embiid and James Harden. The Celtics starting lineup of Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis gave both the new backcourt and frontcourt duos an opportunity to develop some chemistry.
Seven Celtics scored in double digits, led by Payton Pritchard (17 points), Sam Hauser (15 points), Svi Mykhailiuk (15 points), Porzingis (11 points), Holiday (11 points), and White (11 points), and Neemias Queta (10 points).
