After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Spurs 113-107. Celtics torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
