After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Mavericks 113-96. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
