After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Mavericks 89-81. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
