After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Spurs 107-106. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
