""A lot went wrong, that's for sure. I think it started right from the beginning with not getting off to a great start offensively, getting into foul trouble with both bigs, etc.""
""I thought from the second quarter to the midway of the third we finally got ourselves underneath us a little bit and played some pretty good basketball, but the minutes around that were absolutely unacceptable.""
""You can't live with not making those. I thought not making those affected us in transition and a little bit.""
The Celtics secured a decisive 123-91 victory over the 76ers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Philadelphia's performance was hindered by poor offensive production, particularly from Tyrese Maxey, and a lack of effort. Coach Nick Nurse noted that the team failed to settle into the game early on, compounded by foul trouble for key players. The absence of Joel Embiid was felt, as the 76ers struggled with shooting, finishing 4-for-23 from beyond the arc, which negatively impacted their transition game.
