After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Spurs 109-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
