After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Warriors 100-96. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
