After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Lakers 120-104. Celtics' offense had its way with the Lakers. Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
