What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBAIme Udoka confirmed he ran with the starters, especially Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, for a long stint because he wanted to see if they’d make a run. He knew he’d pull them early in Q4 if that didn’t happen. Added he loved the competitiveness the kids played with at the end. – 9:42 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Doc Rivers said the Sixers tried to show Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown a crowd defensively, and was thrilled with the effort overall. Said Philly had 27 deflections by halftime, and that they hope to get that many across the entire game. – 9:29 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown played the entire third quarter and are both starting the fourth.
Ime Udoka is probably giving Boston about five minutes to make a run here in Q4 and then he’ll pull the plug if Philly is still up big. – 8:57 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown remain in the game to start the fourth after playing the entire third quarter. – 8:56 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

It’s a 55-35 lead at the half and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are shooting a combined 4/20. Matisse Thybulle has been an absolute menace on the defensive end. #Sixers – 8:07 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
