After Action Report
In Boston, the Spurs squeaked past the Celtics 111-108. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
