After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Lakers 105-94. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
