After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Grizzlies 89-79. Celtics' positional fit overwhelmed the Grizzlies rotation. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
