In Boston, the Celtics survived the Mavericks 101-100. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
