After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Grizzlies 133-131 in overtime. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies 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.
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
