After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Magic 100-91. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
