After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Heat 111-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
