4 Takeaways as Celtics Beat 76ers as Center Erupts for Career Night

Neemias Queta recorded 11 double-doubles this season and dominated the boards with 17 rebounds in the Celtics' comeback win over the 76ers.

  • On Sunday night, Neemias Queta scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as the Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 114-98 in Boston.
  • Despite an early deficit, the Celtics used a second-quarter surge to outscore the 76ers 36-22 after Joel Embiid was sidelined for at least three games.
  • With 16 points and 10 rebounds in under 14 first-half minutes, Queta scored Boston's next eight points late to put the Celtics in front 111-98.
  • As a result of the defeat, the Sixers' three-game streak ended, and rotation choices may shift with Barlow and Jabari Walker filling in more often, especially with George suspended.
  • The Sixers return home for a back-to-back beginning Tuesday, with Paul George still suspended and eligible to return on March 25, affecting rotation decisions.
