After Action Report
In Dallas, the Celtics squeaked past the Mavericks 112-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
