Neemias Queta was unstoppable against the Philadelphia 76ers, recording 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting with 17 rebounds and three blocks in just 27 minutes. The Portuguese center's performance, which Jaylen Brown called the best of his career, helped the Celtics secure their 40th win of the season.
The Celtics improved to 40-20 with the victory, having won five of their last six games. While Queta stole the spotlight, Jaylen Brown added 27 points with eight rebounds and eight assists, and Derrick White contributed 21 points. Queta's transformation from a fourth-string center last season to a reliable starter has been remarkable.
