After a strong opening win over the Milwaukee Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers battled the Boston Celtics on the second day of Summer League. It resulted in a 96-82 loss — a score that doesn’t do justice to how entertaining the contest was.
It was a showcase for several intriguing prospects. Matisse Thybulle, Zhaire Smith and Norvel Pelle stood out for Philadelphia. Grant Williams and Carsen Edwards are blissful for Boston, though it came with a tinge of regret and disappointment for Sixers fans.
While the Sixers weren’t perfect, it was a strong and encouraging game.
