After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics snuck past the Mavericks 105-100. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
