The Philadelphia 76ers picked up their most impressive win of the season with a clutch Christmas Day victory over the Boston Celtics, downing the Celtics thanks to a dominant all-around performance from Tyrese Maxey, who finished with 33 points and 12 assists on the night. Maxey was joined by Caleb Martin, who finished with a career-high seven made 3s on his way to a crucial 23-point performance. Martin, who recently missed three games with a nerve impingement in his shoulder, started for the injured KJ Martin. Joel Embiid added 27 points and 9 rebounds.
After Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics cut the Sixers’ 15-point fourth quarter lead down to three with a little over two minutes left, the Sixers stabilized, then made enough free-throws to close out the game in their biggest win of the season.
