After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Bobcats 111-90. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
