After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Timberwolves 112-95. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed.
