After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Lakers 101-100. Celtics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
