After Action Report
The Celtics stunned the Lakers 109-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
