The Celtics snuck past the Lakers 107-102. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
