After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Spurs 116-104. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
