After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Mavericks 123-114. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
