After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Heat 132-109. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
