Alarms and confusion took center stage in Boston on Monday night as the Celtics game against Philadelphia had a delay that felt like it lasted days. As of now, no official reason has been given for why the game was delayed so long while rumors circulated about security concerns or an active shooter.
The “76ers vs nets” is a game that was delayed on Monday. The cause of the delay was confusion and alarms, which took center stage in Boston as the Celtics played against the 76ers.
On Monday, the Boston Celtics were scheduled to face the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time in less than three weeks. Those in attendance at TD Garden had an unnerving experience when the Celtics players were presented for the night. The building’s alarm system went off, and an evacuation order was issued, leaving spectators, players, and members of the media confused.
Confusion reigned just before the Celtics vs. 76ers game began.

The NBA has had a difficult week. Since December 14, seven games have been postponed due to COVID-19’s resurgence. The NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety guidelines have enrolled more than 70 players, and the number is growing.
Things became more stranger on Monday when the TD Garden’s alarms went off, generating chaos throughout the facility. Following the sound of the sirens, an announcement was made outlining an evacuation process in case the arena needed to be vacated.
It wasn’t only the fans who were perplexed and concerned.
According to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, an evacuation notice was issued, but then individuals were left wondering what to do next.
He said on Twitter, “It remains uncertain as to what will happen next.” “Both teams are simply standing on the court,” says the referee. The notice said that an announcement would be made after urging people to evacuate if necessary, but no such statement was made. There’s no telling what’ll happen next.”
“I’ve seen some bizarre things in my 12 years here in Boston, this may top the cake,” said Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe on Twitter.
A ruptured pipe at a concession stand caused the alarm before the Celtics vs. 76ers game.
The presentation of players resumed after a brief pause and many anxious seconds, with no official explanation of what had occurred. The game started with speculations flying about about why the sirens went off. Doc Rivers, the Sixers’ head coach, had no idea what was going on.
According to the Boston Sports Journal, Doc Rivers remarked after the game, “I assumed that was part of the opening.” “I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that’s a loud entrance.’ Then there came the wait… that was unusual.”
The crew then revealed that the chaos was caused by a busted pipe at a concession stand. The game resumed after a seven-minute delay.
The Celtics were able to field a squad despite having seven players in the health and safety regulations. For personal reasons, Center Robert Williams, who was not one of the seven in protocols, was also absent. The Sixers weren’t sure who they’d be playing against.
According to ESPN, Sixers player Tobias Harris remarked, “With the cases spreading the way they are, they may not have enough men to travel.” “Until everyone gets out of safety standards, that’s the essence of the business in the NBA right now.”
The Celtics let another late lead slip away.

Despite a strange start to the game, the Celtics ended up with the same old outcome. It was a case of the one that got away.
It wasn’t as bad as the two 19-point leads they blew earlier in the season, but it was still a game Boston should have won.
The Celtics lost a seven-point lead with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter, falling to 15-16. Joel Embiid scored 17 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter.
The Celtics were led by Jaylen Brown, who scored 30 points. Jayson Tatum ended with a total of 17 points.
According to the Boston Sports Journal, Brown added, “We had so many excuses that we were creating tonight.” “It was chilly in the arena, the fire alarm slowed things down a little, and we had men out.” Who cares, right? “All we have to do now is come out and find a way to provide energy, establish the tone, and convey a feeling of urgency.”
For the Celtics, the beat continues on.
