After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Bobcats 122-96. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
