After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Spurs 118-90. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
