Boston proved on European soil that they remain the team to beat in the East with German Daniel Theiss adding 6 points and 7 rebounds for the winners to go along with two steals and one block.

For the losing side, Croatian Dario Saric scored 14 points which were not enough. French guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot added six points.

Jaylen Brown added 21 points, and Marcus Morris had 19 points and eight rebounds to help the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics extend their winning streak to seven games.

JJ Redick had 22 points and hit five 3-pointers for Philadelphia, but the 76ers were unable to take advantage of their fast start as the Celtics‘ NBA-best defense tightened at O2 Arena.
