After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Trail Blazers 109-90. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
