The 76ers made significant moves ahead of the trade deadline to build a younger, more athletic roster, acquiring Quentin Grimes and Jared Butler, and later signing Lonnie Walker IV.
Lonnie Walker IV was back in Boston on Thursday, though this time with a rival as he's back stateside from his overseas stint.
Not only did Oubre’s hot shooting continue, but Walker and Edwards continued to find the basket as the Sixers shot 63% from the quarter and 50% from three, allowing them to cut the lead to 10. Boston was able to reverse that momentum in seconds, going right back up by 18 after three.
Jayson Tatum had 35 points and seven rebounds and the Boston Celtics powered past the Philadelphia 76ers 123-105 on Thursday night.
