For the second game in a row, the 76ers were favored against the Celtics. The Celtics were unaware of their status as underdogs and played like it in Thursday’s Game 2 as they sent the 76ers home trailing 2-0 in the series.
After the game, Marcus Morris was told Vegas had picked Philadelphia to edge Boston once again.
“They couldn’t have been favored the first two games, could they?” Morris asked reporters, per the Boston Globe‘s Adam Himmelsbach.
He was told they had been.
“OK. S***, this ain’t Miami,” the Celtics forward responded.
