After Action Report
In Miami, the Celtics outlasted the Heat 129-118. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
