After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Trail Blazers 116-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
