After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Grizzlies 113-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
