After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Mavericks 108-93. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
