In Boston, the Celtics fended off the Grizzlies 121-112. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
