The Celtics buried the Mavericks 133-99. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
