After Action Report
In Boston, the Heat blew the doors off the Celtics 108-86. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
