After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Lakers 100-99. Celtics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
