After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Timberwolves 109-102. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
