Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Full Game Highlights Oct 22, 2025 NBA TODAY
[Applause] I’m really excited by watching DJ Edgecomb. Yeah, Edgecomb 77 defends the Celtics number seven Jaylen Brown to get things started. Experienced crew tonight. Scott Foster, Rodney Mott White finds Kada. How about that? That’s an athletic catch and finish. Good job by Kada. I’m excited about that. About 17 seconds into the new season. Kada showing you what he’s been working on in the offse body control and finishing on that play. Plus, he got out of the screen a lot quicker. Pritchard rattles it out in the starting lineup for the opener after he was the John and Kevin McCale. But Pritchard when he starts he puts up massive numbers. Yeah. I I think this year will be Coach Mazulo will use Pritchard the same way he used him last year as well as being a featured guy on the ball and off the ball. Well, that’s how he’s wired. Navigating some screens here as Maxi controls and be free throw line jumper. Missed it. Richard to hook one. Now it’s White who’s primed for a huge year. Maybe the best of his career. The two man with Kada snaps it back for an 18 foot. Lot of work right there. Derek White got downhill. King back outside. Got the pick and roll. Gives it a pullup jumper. Another good screen or a screen assist by Kada. Edgecomb. He is a freak show. Yeah, he’s got some boost. Ducks is not doing a great job with this pick and roll. so far two times which Edgecomb this time turned out at Sixers last year picked and they land BJ Edgecomb who became like late this consistent uh number third pick in the draft which everyone thought it was going to be Ace Bailey. I think last year took some uh took some years off Nick Nurse’s life that was rough. Philly fans are accustomed to tanking with the process, but what they did last year was up there. Had a top six protective pick. They ended up hanging on to it, getting edge comb. They’re excited about him. Was playing off a set screen for White. Three ball won’t go. Embiid’s going to be down the floor. Some’s got to be ready to shoot that ball. Now Brown defending Embiid. He shoots over the top and missed it again. Good energy from Dominic Barlo. Got it out to Miy who drains a three. And if you weren’t watching the preseason, folks, you saw the point. This was a common theme. The point. You give up an offensive rebound, you’re going to the bench. Yep. Xavier Tilman ready to check in as Pritchard bounces to K. A. Great find from Pritchard. Yeah, you see that Pritchard keeping his dribble alive. Showed a ton of patience on that play. [Music] [Applause] Maxi with all kinds of speed. Barlo lines it up. Missed the three. Kada clears the glass. That’s going to be something to watch. The Celtics defensive rebounding leads to transition. White blocked by Barlo. A fight for it. Hower goes down to the deck. of the bigs to be able to be good right there in that short roll area. They have to be good in that area. Get Hower getting up there, but Edgecom corrals it for Philly. Barlo shot out of a canned. Tilman defending right off the bench and he’s called for the foul as Barlo has a chance at three. Barlo looks impressive. You saw the defensive play where he blocked Derek White then running the floor. House did a good job just pulls back. Thought this was going to be a block, but Barlo stuck with it. Got the layup. Barlo is a two-way guy for the Sixers. 22 years old. Fourth season in the pros. Guy starts first game of the season, right? Yeah. But I can see why. Good size. He’s got quickness. He gives the Sixers a three-point lead just over three minutes into the first game of the year. D White averaged 11 three-point attempts per game in the preseason. This time he sprays it. Tilman can’t connect. Kelly Ubé now in year 11 out of Kansas. Hower defends Maxi. Embiid on the pick and pop. Missed again. Embiid 0 for three. 0 for two from downtown. Embiid hasn’t touched the paint. Nice move from Jaylen Brown. Get himself involved. I don’t know if you guys got a chance to watch last night. Luca Donic was really operating in the mid-range. Their body contact to create space and it knocks down the midi. That was Jaylen’s first shot of the night. Now he’s got another re. Celtics still without a three. Who fig Who figured that? Actually, the Celtics the most prolific three-point shooting team in the history of the NBA. It wasn’t close. Setting records for makes and attempts. Maxi draws two. Was that activity from Barlo, but Brown secures the rebound. White cuts, gets all the way to the hole. the simplicity of that play from Jaylen. More growth in Jaylen Brown and the Celtics are going to need that. That’s what Jaylen Brown was excited to show off more this season. What he told Michael Holly, his playmaking he feels like can take another step this season. The first time Joe’s got a post up against Tilman. MB’s not doing much with the good hands. Beats MVP. Brown rewards the big man. What a sequence. And Brown dropping dime. Drop and dime. The Celtics ultimate game changer guys. I think a lot of those guys going to be game changers. Experience of being on the Celtics. The culture, the championship culture of being with guys that have done it. You know, their expectations to win. Those things all make a difference. And one of the guys who was most impressive in the preseason was Minot who’s now playing in an NBA opener for the first time in his career. spent three years with Minnesota. Offensive rebound and the second time Joe Mazulo will make a quick switch as Edgecomb right to the rack. That’s a second chance point. Remember big emphasis this season is going to be rebounding the ball. Brown gets it out to May not likes to operate in the corner. Oh, this is great offense. Great ball movement. High energy guy Josh Min kick it out. Jaylen Brown knocks down a triple. That is a great possession. That was right to left to right to dribble handoff to drive to kick to a wide open three. That’s good Celtic basketball. Making the defense move and think. And that was the Celtics first three of the season. Maxi defended by Pritchard. Shot gets low. Finds Edgecom. Late help from Simons. Left edge alone. I don’t know why he did that. You wouldn’t I don’t think you would want to lead the corner like that on a double team. That’s not a mismatch with Payton Pritchard. Edgecom was 34% in his one season at Baylor from three-point range. There’s an Simons who mentioned a guy who can reel him across the last three years for the Trailblazers. This is a new role for him though coming off the bench. Yeah, he’s got to insert yourself quicker. Maxi flying into the paint. That went under the basket. No basket. I wonder looked like he was about to take the ball out of bounds. Doesn’t get the roll, but there’s the lawn mower. Josh might not just running back. You got to crash the glass. Celtics trying to create more shooting opportunities with rebounding. That’s how you can do it. Oh man. Edge. Oh my god. Nasty. You got to be careful. He’s going to hurt his wrist. He is a blur. Philly got so lucky to move up in the draft and get a guy like that. Brown late pass to Tilman. Great play by Jaylen Brown. Brown is dropping today. D might have a pocket full of threes, but Jaylen Brown has a pocket full of dimes. Edge ball steel. That’s 11 points in his NBA debut. Eight minutes in. Ties the game at 20. JP’s got five points, three boards, three assists. Early triple double watch. Know what’s going on here. Oh, trying to Pritchard goes at him. Three to shoot. It’s Pritchard. Plenty of time here. But that was Jaylen Brown calling Pritchard’s number. Pocket pass edge come to Barlo. Tilman got a piece of the ball again. Pritchard walks into a bomb. Tilman yanks it away from a Dembona. A jump ball. That was that was close. Rebounding. Those are the margins. There’s a good look from the dunking cam. It’s all about the dunk. Another fresh face checks in here for the Celtics. Chris Bush. Let’s give uh Jaylen Brown a little props here. Five points, four assists, three boards in nine minutes. And JB takes a seat now. So with no Tatum. Be interesting to see how Joe handles the first quarter. Typically, one of those guys would play the entire opening quarter. I feel like as hard as the Celtics play, they’re probably going to have a lot more. I expect him to go 10 or 11 deep. Oh, I like this action. White too strong. Almost banked it home. And then Tilman with a steal. They’ve got numbers. Might not. Right back to X. UB was hanging on the rim. That should have been a goal. Yeah, that’s what the Celtic bench is uh complaining about. [Music] Grimes on the side step three. Jabari Walker gets the offensive rebound. He was tangled up with Mina and the fouls against the Celtics. Well, the Celtics has fouled that basket. Maybe a one minute break. That’s an interesting break. Joe used the sort of under three timeout to extend that break, but it ended up being maybe a four or five minute rest. Well, we know Jaylen’s in amazing shape. Dude is working with Dera Torres over at Boston College and Olympian on swimming. He’s doing Muay Thai. He is ready for the season. Garza stepped out of bounds trying to grab the rebound. Out of bounds Philadelphia ball. That’s great timing on that. So excited about seeing him develop in that area. His screening is cornetesque. Yes. Mari Walker on the offensive glass. Celtics fans might remember him from that game where White and Prick both had 40 last year where you’re calling it with Mike Tico. Tamari Walker was six for six on threes for Portland in that game. His teammates with Anthony Simons. Here we go. Guards with the screen. That time he holds it up. Derek White rattles in a triple. That’ll go down as a screen assist for Garza. Big time when he stays in the screen when he slips out of his timing is excellent. It’s a It’s a talent. Oh, that’s a goalender. It’s a talent. It’s a skill. They were 24 and 58 last year. 13. Yeah, but they had to they had to lose games to get that pick and it and it paid off for them. Yeah, they did it well. White banking home. Embiid, [Music] Maxi and George played 15 games together. They were seven and eight in those games. Here, Edgecomb again. Nasty. [Music] I mean, look at him. Oh, right back at you. Quick release. His first three points in a Celtics uniform. He can score and he can score it in punches. Edcom finally missed one. Offensive rebound to Bona. Final minute of the first quarter. Offensive foul though. Get it on Grimes. Dinner. I think when he wants He’s got 30. He wants 40. He’s got 40. He wants 50. He might have a 50. Yeah, he might have 50 ball. He can fill it up. Going to go two for one here. Brown sees it. Shoots it. Comes up a little bit short. [Music] About [Applause] a 5second difference shot clock and game clock. Derek White watching Tyrese Maxi Kada on the switch. Grinds [Applause] and a bailout foul. Yeah, Celtics over the limit. He’s not even like uh choing at the bit to get out there. He should check himself in. All right. I mean, especially with the new heave rule, it’s not even going to count as like he’s really good at the speed dribble late. You know, he just 5.8. Whatever they do, they’ll do something where they catch it on the run. Watch Grimes one for two. Here’s White. 3 seconds left in the quarter. [Applause]
