After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Grizzlies 131-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
