After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Cavaliers 126-97. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
