The Boston Celtics faced a disappointing 111-97 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their playoff series at TD Garden. A critical second quarter saw the Celtics concede 37 points, marking the highest points allowed in a single quarter during the playoffs since the 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Center Neemias Queta noted that the team struggled with rebounding and defensive coverage, particularly against the 76ers' three-point shooting, as they converted 19 triples at nearly 50% accuracy. Queta, who finished with 8 points and 6 rebounds, emphasized the importance of learning from this game and preparing to bounce back in Game 3. Jayson Tatum echoed the need for improvement, stating that allowing such a scoring run is detrimental in playoff games. The Celtics will look to reset their mindset as they head to Philadelphia for the next match.
