After Action Report
In Miami, the Celtics held off the Heat 90-84. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
