Rapid Recap is designed for the busiest of Celtics fans. Whether you can’t stay awake to read 10 paragraphs or your hangover is just too much, Rapid Recap tells the timeline of the game in only a minute or two.
The Celtics had a chance tonight to make us forget the piss poor losses against Washington and San Antonio with a win against the Embiid-less 76ers.
They did not. The effort was 75% better, but the offensive execution was maddening. Now, we’re left with questions about whether their top four players can thrive together offensively.
Philly won, 109-98. Tatum, Brown, and Hayward shot a combined 10-36. Boston mustered 17 assists and managed just 43 points in the 2nd half.

Smart with a game-high 13 points in 10 minutes. Very good timing for C's to have him snap out of funk.

The #Sixers close quarter on 12-6 spurt, #Celtics still lead 55-48 at the half. Key takeaways …
* Rebounding (C's lead 23-19)
* Free throw factor (Cs 5/5; Philly 6/10)
* Bench play (Boston 19-11 edge)— A. Sherrod Blakely (@ASherrodblakely) January 10, 2020
Looks like Kemba’s got some black tape around his thumb and wrist, but looked fine warming up. https://t.co/fiSYQpkJft

The defensive hustle and no-look dish… what a sequence from Ben Simmons!

What a huge swing — Ben Simmons should've had an easy dunk on an alley-oop, but couldn't convert, only for Kemba Walker to come back the other way and complete a 3-point play. Then Jayson Tatum blocks Al Horford, Gordon Hayward makes a layup and Boston is now within 2 w/ 5 to go

There’s no point in playing the “best five” lineup if they then don’t run anything
