After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Heat 118-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
