After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Rockets 122-118 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
