After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Heat 96-82. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
