After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 120-97. Celtics' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
