After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Mavericks 106-98. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
