Paul George delivered a spectacular performance on his return to Philadelphia, but his individual brilliance was not enough to prevent the Boston Celtics from securing a 123-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

George was the standout performer for Philadelphia, finishing with 36 points, five rebounds and six three-pointers. He shot an impressive 14-of-22 from the field, showing his scoring ability throughout the contest.

However, Boston had the stronger collective performance and eventually pulled away to secure a comfortable road victory.

The win marked the Celtics’ fourth consecutive victory and moved them to the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

It was an important result for Boston as they continue to build consistency early in the season. For Philadelphia, George’s outstanding display offered some positives, but the team will be disappointed that it could not turn his performance into a victory.
