After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Celtics 114-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
