After Action Report

The Warriors ran roughshod over the Celtics 120-98. Warriors torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
