After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics survived the Heat 112-111. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
