After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Lakers 132-101. Celtics' offense had its way with the Lakers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
