After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Celtics 126-90. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
