After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 118-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
