After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Lakers 128-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
