After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Lakers 114-111. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
