After Action Report

The Celtics held off the Bobcats 126-118. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
