After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Bobcats 107-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
