After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics fended off the Lakers 99-90. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
