After Action Report

The Celtics stunned the Lakers 118-117. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
