After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Trail Blazers 126-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
