After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Celtics squeaked past the Lakers 108-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
