After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics held off the Grizzlies 115-106. The Grizzlies had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
