PHILADELPHIA - Common sense says that an older team, a team with more minutes - individually and collectively - would benefit more from two days off than a younger team. The Sixers agree.

They’ll resume their head-scratching series on Monday at TD Garden, even at two games each. A few examples of the strangeness of the series: In separate games, Boston has jumped out to leads of 9-0 and 14-0, and lost.
