After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Bobcats 96-87. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
