For the "it was just hot shooting" crowd, the Celtics outscored the Sixers 46-32 on 23-39 shooting in the paint. Boston also held Philly to 41.8% shooting. The Celtics didn't start launching threes at a high rate until they were pulling away. This was an all-around whooping.
Status alert: Chris Youngblood (foot) won't return Tuesday.

Darius Acuff Jr. on how much the Kings’ start is weighing on him: “A lot. I’m not a loser … I don’t know what to do, man. I feel like we are trying as a whole, we’re just not coming out with a win. 1-10 just don’t sound right.” (via @MattGeorgeSAC) https://t.co/3A1zXZgjZb

Jaylen Brown on ignoring Jayson Tatum pregame: “I’m just focused on coming out and doing what’s best for my team. Everything else was, to be honest, I wasn’t paying attention. But credit to Jayson, he played well tonight. Credit to the Celtics … they were the better team tonight.” (🎥 via @krisrhim1) https://t.co/Kb3eIlYZuV
Paul George on his hot start with the Celtics: “I’m a little bit better with more usage. That’s no knock to my opportunities here with Philly. Quite frankly, I wasn’t healthy to take on the workload I feel I’m at my best at. Here in Boston, they gave me an opportunity to be myself.” https://t.co/Tbcu3wgFkR

After starting the last 5 games, the Portland Trail Blazers are moving Scoot Henderson back to a reserve role and Sidy Cissoko will get the start tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell me.
Lineup alert: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, McCain, Mitchell, Kenrich Williams, Hartenstein on Tuesday.
Paul George's return to Philly: 36 PTS (game-high) 6 3PM 5 REB 14-22 FG Celtics take over first place in the East. https://t.co/PPYD9qOTXy
Jayson Tatum: 21 PTS, 6 REB, 4 AST, 2 BLK Jaylen Brown: 13 PTS, 5 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL, -27 +/- Tatum and the Celtics get the win. https://t.co/6PksWip2FH
Last two games, Jayson Tatum didn't have to play in the fourth quarter. Barely had to play in the fourth quarter of this one. Stealing that kind of in-game rest is huge. Adds up throughout the course of the season.
Hey @JamPackard is it a Boston Three Party?
Jayson Tatum ran away pointing for the made three from Paul George before the ball was even in PG's hands. Dialed in.
Celtics are on fire from deep, but the defense has also been really good on the last several possessions too. Sixers have no airspace. Boston's rotations are right on time too.
Celtics on a 21-3 run all from 3-pointers They're 10-16 3PT in the second half https://t.co/kLOuJ6q99M
The Celtics can't buy a call right now. And they aren't just chucking threes tonight. There's a lot of contact on these drives going uncalled.
