Celtics Roll Past the 76ers 123-101 as Paul George Pours in 36 in Philly Return
Paul George hit six 3-pointers and led Boston’s 22-for-49 shooting from deep as the Celtics pulled away after halftime.
- On Tuesday, Boston Celtics wing Paul George scored 36 points in his return to Philadelphia, leading the Celtics past the 76ers 123-101 with six 3-pointers as Boston shot 44.9% from beyond the arc.
- This summer's trade sent George to Boston while the 76ers acquired 2024 NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, marking the first matchup between the teams since the blockbuster offseason swap.
- Tension between Brown and former teammate Jayson Tatum surfaced pregame when Brown appeared to ignore Tatum's attempted greeting, though both players declined to elaborate on their relationship.
- Brown struggled with early foul trouble and finished with 13 points and four turnovers, while Tatum delivered 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists in the Celtics' dominant victory.
- Now 36, George is averaging 20.4 points per game in Boston; injury and suspension limited him to just 78 games over two seasons in Philadelphia, explaining his recent resurgence.
