After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Trail Blazers 103-91. Celtics' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
