After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Heat 110-106. Celtics' offense had its way with the Heat. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
