After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs rolled past the Celtics 115-91. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
