After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bobcats survived the Celtics 122-119. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
