After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Spurs 107-105. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
