Gameplay
Quarter 1
Boston started better and went up 2-8, with the Sixers scoring just 2 points in the first three minutes, but the visitors were soon able to bounce back thanks to a defensive effort, and 11 points in the first quarter from P.J. Tucker (3 of 5 from three), and the quarter ended with a 23-29 advantage for the visitors.
Quarter 2
In the second quarter, tempers flared a bit as Boston got back into the game. Harden received an unsportsmanlike foul on the elbow to the face of Brown, who then confronted Philadelphia's bench players as Boston scored a 2-13 run, turned it over and took a 41-42 lead with 4 minutes left in the quarter. Philadelphia regained the lead, but Tatum continued his hot night, scoring a 9-pointer with 52:55 left in the first two quarters with 25 seconds left in the half, scoring <> points in the first two quarters.
