After Action Report
The Trail Blazers stunned the Celtics 98-95. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- 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.
