After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Bulls 114-109. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
