After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Cavaliers 95-88. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
