After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Grizzlies 116-102. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it

- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
