After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Suns 102-96. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. 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.
