After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Bucks 111-89. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
