After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers took care of the Celtics 140-121. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
