After Action Report

The Trail Blazers fended off the Celtics 119-113. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat.

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