After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Mavericks 115-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
