After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Celtics outlasted the Lakers 101-89. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
