After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Lakers 126-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
