After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Grizzlies 104-100. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
