After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Heat 101-98. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
