After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Trail Blazers 96-91. Celtics' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
