After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Lakers 126-118. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
