After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Mavericks 102-88. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 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.
