After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Celtics 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
