After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Celtics 133-113. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
