After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Heat 101-87. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
