After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Celtics 104-93. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
