After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Cavaliers 93-89. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
