After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Cavaliers 93-90. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
