After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Jazz 125-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
