Paul George Scores 36 in Philadelphia Return as Celtics Beat 76ers
Paul George scored 36 points on 14-of-22 shooting as Boston used a 26-3 second-half run to pull away.

- 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.
