A lot has been said about the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers
in the past few days, both before and after Joe Mazzulla's team secured an impressive 123-101 win on Tuesday, November 10. Most of the discussion points surrounded Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. After all, it was the first time they'd faced off since Brown was traded, and it was also the first time they'd met in a competitive game.Despite Tatum and Brown being the focus, it was Paul George who stepped up throughout the contest. Sharpshooters Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser also contributed to Boston's win. In fact, the Celtics bench as a whole played an important, and somewhat overlooked, part in the game.
Following Boston's win, 17-year NBA veteran Eddie Johnson joined Adam
Taylor for an episode of 'The Celtics Chronicle' podcast. Johnson and Tatum discussed the Tatum-Brown matchup and why George has been able to hit the ground running since being traded to the Celtics this summer. The duo also touched on Boston's biggest area of need, and whether we will see much of rookie Chris Cenac Jr. at points during the season.
