According to the Guardian, Jayson Tatum scored 21 points and Paul George added 36 in the Boston Celtics' 123-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. This marked the first head-to-head matchup between Tatum and former teammate Jaylen Brown since Brown was traded to the Sixers over the summer. Before the opening tip, Tatum attempted to greet Brown with a tap on the shoulder, which Brown ignored. Post-game, both players downplayed the interaction, with Tatum stating he was focused on the game and Brown noting he was focused on his team. During the match, Joel Embiid suffered a minor injury scare but remained in the game. Despite the loss, the 76ers hold a 9-3 record, sitting second in the East behind the 9-2 Celtics.
