After Action Report

The Warriors outlasted the Celtics 109-93. Lineup balance gave the Warriors a clear synergy edge. Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
