After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the SuperSonics 112-109. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
