After Action Report
In Dallas, the Celtics survived the Mavericks 107-105. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
