After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Mavericks 112-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
