After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Jazz 127-115. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
