Tatum and Jaylen Brown played the entire second half as Boston fought back against a feisty Philadelphia squad that shot 46.9 percent from 3-point range without three usual starters including Joel Embiid and Paul George. Ultimately, Boston’s hot shooting and improved defensive intensity turned the game around after Mazzulla’s halftime speech.

With 2:56 remaining in the third quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers led the Boston Celtics 90-64. Tyrese Maxey was balling, the crowd was into it and everything was going Philadelphia's way.
