After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the SuperSonics 99-95. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
