After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Warriors 132-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
