The Celtics overcame a 62 - 51 halftime deficit , outscoring the Sixers by a 59 - 44 margin in the second half . Al Horford 's go - ahead three - pointer with 17 remaining and two key free throws by Isaiah Thomas with two seconds left sealed the hard - fought home win . Avery Bradley 's 26 points led Boston , while Thomas ' 24 points helped offset a game - high seven turnovers . Horford had a 19 - point , 12 - rebound double - double , while Amir Johnson totaled 13 points . Jae Crowder notably went scoreless over 30 minutes , but Marcus Smart paced the second unit with 14 points . Joel Embiid 's 23 points led Philadelphia , although he fouled out with six seconds remaining . Ersan Ilyasova went for 20 points , while T.J. McConnell compiled 17 assists and supplemented them with nine points . Robert Covington matched McConnell 's scoring total , while Gerald Henderson 's 18 points led the bench . The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers , 110 - 106 , at TD Garden on Friday . Facing a Sixers ( 9 - 25 ) squad that had only tallied three road wins in 13 tries coming in , it may have been hard to blame the Celtics ( 22 - 14 ) if they were guilty of a little overconfidence Friday . A 39 - point second period by Philadelphia was therefore likely a rather sobering wake - up call , as was the 62 - 51 halftime deficit Boston found itself in . The Celtics were mostly a different team in the second half , as they outscored their visitors by a 59 - 44 margin over the final 24 minutes . However , the game was n't truly decided until the closing seconds , with Al Horford 's go - ahead three - pointer with 17 remaining and two key free throws by Isaiah Thomas with two seconds on the clock finally sealing the hard - fought home win . Philadelphia was led by Joel Embiid 's 23 points , which he supplemented with eight rebounds , three assists and two blocks . However , he battled foul trouble in the second half , and ultimately was charged with his sixth infraction with six seconds remaining . Ersan Ilyasova went for 20 points , three assists , two rebounds , two steals and two blocks , but missed a couple of key three - point attempts late with the Sixers trailing . T.J. McConnell was outstanding setting up his teammates for scoring opportunities , compiling 17 assists and supplementing them with nine points , four boards and a pair of steals . Robert Covington produced nine points , while Gerald Henderson led the second unit with 18 points , four rebounds , an assist and a block . Nerlens Noel was productive in a reserve role as well , registering 13 points , eight rebounds , two assists , three blocks and two steals . Avery Bradley was the high scorer for the Celtics on the night , totaling 26 points , and adding nine rebounds , two assists and a steal . Backcourt mate Thomas stepped up with 24 points , four rebounds and three assists , but did commit a game - high seven turnovers . Horford amassed 19 points , 12 rebounds , four assists and two blocks . Amir Johnson posted 13 points , five rebounds , three assists , four blocks and a steal . Jae Crowder notably went scoreless over 30 minutes , but did have three assists , two rebounds , two steals and two blocks . Marcus Smart paced the second unit with 14 points , eight assists , two rebounds , two blocks and a steal .
