After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Bucks 135-77. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
