The Philadelphia 76ers came into TD Garden and managed to take care of business. The 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 115-103 behind Joel Embiid?s amazing performance. Despite the great night for Philly, fans were more upset over how James Harden arrived for the game, leading the NBA community to shoot daggers at The Beard for arriving in an apparent bent-out shape for such a crucial game.

Days ago, James Harden followed in the footsteps of Chicago Bulls legend, Dennis Rodman. After sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the playoffs, Harden went off to Las Vegas to party and blow off some steam.
