After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Grizzlies 100-95. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
