After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Celtics 108-99. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
