After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Heat 115-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
