After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Lakers 123-109. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
