Elvis … er, I mean Elton Has Left the Bubble

This may be a tough thing to say about what ended up being just a four-point win …

… but this game (and this series) was over a mere two-and-a-half minutes into the second half. It only took four possessions. Daniel Theiss had just jammed home a nifty Kemba Walker feed. On the prior Celtic offensive foray, Jaylen Brown had slashed down the lane for a quick lay-up.

The most noteworthy element of each play was the decision of Philadelphia center Joel Embiid NOT to provide any rim protection on either play, despite being positioned to have done so.
