Hold on to your jersey, Jacob — the Boston Celtics just served up one of the biggest beatdowns you'll see all season! The Celtics absolutely steamrolled the Philadelphia 76ers, 144–106, in front of a roaring TD Garden crowd. That's a 38-point margin of victory — basically the Celtics scored almost two entire extra quarters worth of points more than Philly!
The 76ers, who came in with a 1-2 record, simply had no answer for Boston's firepower. The Celtics are now sitting pretty at 2-0 on the young season, looking like the powerhouse everyone expected them to be. It's the biggest win in the NBA so far this preseason — and Jacob, this one wasn't even close. Boston led wire to wire and just kept piling it on.
Meanwhile, the 76ers drop to 1-2 and will need to regroup fast. At 144 points, Boston showed off the kind of offensive firepower that makes them scary for every team in the Eastern Conference. Early days in the season — but wow, what a statement game for the Celtics! 🍀
It was a seven-game Saturday in the NBA, and things got wild! Besides the Celtics blowout, the Timberwolves edged the Heat by ONE point (125–124!) in Miami, the Wizards beat the Pistons in overtime (114–108), and the Hawks snuck past the Pacers 119–117. The Raptors hosted the Clippers in the NBA Canada Games 2026, winning 114–106. Golden State beat Sacramento 111–106, and the Suns held off the Spurs 102–98 in Phoenix.
