Celtics vs. 76ers: Boston’s 144–106 Win Resets the Rivalry’s Latest Chapter

Updated November 11, 2026, 1:06 a.m. UTC

The Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 144–106 on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena. The result turns a matchup framed as a meeting of two of the Eastern Conference’s early-season contenders into a clear statement win for Boston—and an immediate test of how Philadelphia responds.

The game also carried weight beyond the standings. The teams entered with a recent playoff history, a major offseason roster change between them, and familiar stars now wearing different uniforms. Boston’s win adds a new result to one of the NBA’s longest-running rivalries.

What happened in Celtics vs. 76ers?

Boston won by 38 points, 144–106. The official NBA game listing identifies the contest as a Nov. 10 matchup in Philadelphia. The result is a substantial road win for the Celtics early in the 2026–27 season, while the 76ers will have to regroup after a difficult home loss. See the NBA game page.

The score alone does not explain every tactical detail, and it should not be treated as a forecast for the next meeting. One game can reflect a hot shooting night, matchup advantages, turnovers, or other factors. The clearest confirmed takeaway is the margin: Boston controlled the result decisively.

Why did this game draw extra attention?

The Celtics and 76ers have met hundreds of times, including in the playoffs, and their rivalry has renewed stakes whenever both teams look capable of competing near the top of the East. The NBA’s preview ahead of Tuesday’s game described the matchup as an unusually high-level early-season meeting and highlighted the teams’ intertwined recent history. Read the NBA’s Nov. 10 preview.

There was also a personal subplot. Philadelphia acquired Jaylen Brown from Boston in an offseason deal, while Boston brought in Paul George from the 76ers. Brown’s first meeting against his former team was a headline within the broader game, as was the change in team for George. These changes make future Celtics–76ers games useful checkpoints for how each roster is settling into its new shape.

The rivalry’s recent playoff chapter adds context, too. The 76ers eliminated Boston in a seven-game first-round series in 2026, completing a comeback after falling behind 3–1. That history does not determine regular-season outcomes, but it helps explain why fans watch the teams’ meetings closely. Philadelphia’s official matchup history recounts the series and the clubs’ prior meetings. Review the 76ers’ matchup history.

What does the result mean for the next matchup?

Boston leaves Philadelphia with a decisive win and a result it can build on. For the 76ers, the practical priority is correcting whatever contributed to the 38-point gap and showing a stronger response in the games ahead. The available official game listing and preview confirm the result and context, but they do not establish a lasting change in either team’s outlook.

The next scheduled regular-season meeting is Feb. 7, 2027, with Boston and Philadelphia set to meet again later in the season as well. Schedule details can change, so fans planning around a future game should check the official 76ers schedule or the official Celtics schedule closer to tipoff.
