After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Celtics squeaked past the Bucks 133-131. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
