After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Trail Blazers 115-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
