After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Celtics buried the Spurs 123-101. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
