After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics survived the Trail Blazers 107-105. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
