After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Magic 104-99. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
