After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Lakers 110-107. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
