After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Spurs 117-113. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
