After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Lakers 102-82. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
