After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Jazz 115-83. Celtics' offense had its way with the Jazz. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
