After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Jazz 109-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
