After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Lakers 121-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
