After Action Report
The Warriors fended off the Celtics 97-91. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Warriors; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
