After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Warriors 106-90. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Warriors lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
