After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Trail Blazers 121-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
