After Action Report

The Celtics downed the Suns 105-93. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
