After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Warriors 120-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
