After Action Report
In Boston, the Mavericks took care of the Celtics 136-123 in overtime. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
