After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Celtics outlasted the Spurs 106-92. Celtics torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
