After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics fended off the Grizzlies 102-95. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
