After Action Report

The Celtics held off the 76ers 118-109. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
