After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Mavericks 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
