JT *really* looked like his pre-injury self.

Jayson Tatum looked great, the Celtics defense was on point, and the Celtics ran away from the Sixers in their preseason opener. Here's initial reaction from TD Garden.

Friendly fire injury there for Luka Garza, who took an inadvertent shot from Chris Cenac Jr. and busted his upper lip. He was sent to the back, seemingly to get some stitches.

Baylor Scheierman has not taken a shot, but he has 6 assists, 3 steals, and is +8

Hell of a sequence by Scheierman there... amazing hustle play, and then the pass out to Pritchard was great

The Celtics were 28th in the NBA with 7.1 steals per game. They have 9 so far in the first half

Paul George finally sees one go through. Looks like he needed that. C's now have 17 points off 12 Sixers turnovers

I definitely appreciate the old school up-and-under move by Queta. Nice homage to Kevin McHale there

That was a really fun sequence to get Pritchard the 3... that'll be on a loop for a while

This Celtics lineup could shoot 20% and score on every possession with all the offensive rebounding they have out there

Sixers opened on a 10-2 run. 22-10 Boston the rest of the way

Tatum has 10 of Boston's 19 points and an assist. He's 4-8 while the rest of the team is 4-13

Tatum and Robinson still need to work on that alley oop timing

Devin Carter and Ron Harper Jr are out

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown warming up on opposite ends of the court

Jaylen Brown won't play tonight. Neither will LeBron

We're back, baby!
