After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Heat 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
