Celtics End Losing Streak With Never-Close Win in Philly

Jared Sullinger had 21 points and Avery Bradley was right behind him with 20 more tonight as the Celtics nicely ended their three-game losing streak with a 111-91 win over the 76ers.

In this one's first half, in which the Celtics out-scored the hosts by twenty-one, Bradley actually hit six threes, a happening that was quickly followed by a disappearance in the second half. As for Sulinger, who shot 8/10 from the field and 4/6 from behind the arch, he also seemingly couldn't miss, while Jeff Green collected a decent amount of his 18.

Besides those three, Tyler Zeller and Kelly Olynyk both had 14, and Elliot Williams led Philadelphia with 17. The Celtics made 47.2% (42/89) of their attempts, while the 76ers made 40% (36/90) of theirs. The visitors also won the rebounding category 47-43. 

The Sixers out-scored the Celtics 47-46 in the final 24 minutes, a happening that obviously wasn't enough to bring them back as they fell to 1-4 and Boston improved to 3-3.
