After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Heat 103-91. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
