Philly was coming off of a sweep of the Brooklyn Nets which meant they had 10 days to rest before the Celtics were ready to host them following a difficult series with the Hawks. Joel Embed was ruled out of the series opener just hours before tip off and the Sixers were going to need a big night from everyone if they were to steal the first game in Boston. James Harden gave flashbacks of his day’s as the NBA’s scoring champion, posting 45 in the 119-115 win. It’s just a first glimpse of what these two, and this team is capable of but for the first time since Kyrie came to town there is more cause for excitement than concern in Dallas.The shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers took a huge 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after going into Boston and taking down the Celtics at TD Garden in Game 1.

Against the Sixers, they let the game come to them and it resulted in the best night of the new Dallas Duo era. It seemed as though Kai and Luka were forcing the issue over the first few games together, trying to get each other the ball, and not trying to step on one and other’s toes.
