After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Celtics 110-105. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
