After Action Report

In a track meet, the Warriors took care of the Celtics 119-100. The breakneck pace played right into Warriors' hands. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
