Here are live updates and coverage of opening night as the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics on the road.

The Sixers erased that 11-point deficit and gritted out a one-point win at the TD Garden.

The Sixers coach needed no introduction. Nurse was the coach of the Toronto Raptors in 2018 when Boucher worked his way from a Summer League to a roster spot and a role on the Raptors where he won a ring with Toronto’s 2019 NBA Champions. Boucher played seven years in the Great White North before signing with Boston this summer.
