After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Jazz 120-100. Celtics' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
