After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Mavericks 136-113. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
