After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Mavericks 101-91. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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.
