After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Spurs 119-97. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
