After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers knocked off the Celtics 122-120. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
