After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Jazz 112-97. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
