After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Celtics 117-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
