The Sixers will head into the trade deadline on a sour note after suffering a 106-99 loss on Wednesday night to the Celtics at TD Garden. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
There was plenty of “Don’t see that every night” action in the opening minutes.
Grant Williams guarded Embiid and the Celtics sent double teams whenever feasible. Williams is an intelligent, dogged defender, but those qualities didn’t yield great results early. Embiid played the whole first period and scored 14 of the Sixers’ 27 points on 6-for-8 shooting. As far as tolerating complaints, the officials were less lenient. Embiid was assessed a technical with 3:30 left in the second quarter after scoring inside through Williams and making sure everyone knew he felt he’d been fouled again.
Still, though it was not as extreme as Sunday’s loss to the Knicks, the Sixers’ bench was again not a team strength through three quarters. Boston had a 41-21 total bench scoring advantage in the game. A seriously off Tyrese Maxey game obviously hurt matters.
