After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Celtics 104-100. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- 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.
