After Action Report

The Celtics squeaked past the Warriors 120-116. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Warriors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
