After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Bobcats 113-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
