After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Celtics survived the Bucks 104-102. Celtics torched the Bucks on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
