After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics survived the Mavericks 138-137. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
