Tyrese Maxey destroys bad Boston Celtics defense, Philadelphia 76ers win on Christmas

The Celtics spent way too long playing terrible defense against the Sixers on Christmas day, only picking it up long enough to remind us how good they can be. The end result was a frustrating loss to the Sixers in a game they easily could have won if they tried a little harder. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks down the Celtics' performance, highlighting Tyrese Maxey's standout game for the 76ers and Caleb Martin's unexpected shooting success. The discussion covers the Celtics' defensive lapses, Tatum's resilience despite illness, and the need for stronger contributions from the bench, including Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. Will the Celtics find the consistency they need to maintain their championship aspirations? Tune in for an in-depth analysis and insights into the team's evolving strategy and challenges.
