After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Heat 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
