The Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers on opening night at the Garden behind 70 combined points from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal takes a look at why this performance felt different than other Jays combo performances, how the bench helped keep the ship afloat while the stars got themselves together, and how Joe Mazzulla passed his first test. Plus, a rant on the flagrant foul on Al Horford, and why the NBA needs to change how the landing spot rule is enforced.
