Paul George praised for impact in Celtics' preseason win over 76ers

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla highlighted a significant impact made by Paul George during their NBA preseason victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics secured a commanding 144-106 win on 11 October, led by Jayson Tatum's performance and George's contributions on the court.

This win marked Boston's second consecutive preseason victory, following a 124-113 win at the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics currently stand second in the NBA preseason standings with two wins from two games and a positive point difference of +49. Their strong form has set a positive tone ahead of the regular season.

The Philadelphia 76ers, meanwhile, have struggled in the preseason, sitting 13th with one win and two losses from three games. Their recent results include the heavy defeat to Boston and a close loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers have a negative point difference of -21, reflecting their challenges so far.

Looking ahead, the Celtics will host the Charlotte Hornets on 14 October in their next preseason match. This game offers another opportunity for Boston to build momentum before the NBA regular season begins. The 76ers will aim to improve their form in upcoming fixtures as they seek to reverse their current fortunes.
