After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 116-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
