After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the 76ers 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
