After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Heat 119-101. Celtics' offense had its way with the Heat. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
