Daily News | Sixers fall 126-117 to Celtics after sluggish showing in NBA season opener
Tuesday’s season opener against the Boston Celtics was the first offor the Sixers. Their 126-117 loss at TD Garden could be an indication that, even after offseason upgrades, they still aren’t deep enough to contend for a title.
Boston honored late Celtics great Bill Russell on a night that marked the first of two Bill Russell Tribute Nights. Russell, a Hall of Famer and 11-time NBA champion, passed away on July 31. Harden made 9 of 14 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, and all 12 of his foul shots along with a game-high eight assists and eight rebounds in 38 minutes. He scored 16 of his points while playing the entire first quarter.What’s a Sixers vs. Celtics game without Smart and Embiid getting into something? Early in the second half, Smart fouled Embiid on a post-up, knocking the two players to the floor. Then the Celtic guard received a technical foul for grabbing Embiid.
Russell meant a lot to Sixers coach Doc Rivers, who coached nine seasons in Boston and won the 2008 NBA title.
