After two brief games at home, the Philadelphia 76ers hit the road again on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics to begin a 4-game road trip. With Joel Embiid back in the lineup, the Sixers were looking to finish off a season sweep of their rivals and they were able to do so.
Thanks to 35 points and six rebounds from Embiid, the Sixers were able to come away with a 106-96 win over the Celtics to start the road trip and move into a tie for the 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Along with Embiid’s big game, Philadelphia was able to force 20 turnovers from the Celtics as they were able to bother them all night long.
