After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics fended off the Heat 114-107. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
