After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Magic 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
