After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Celtics blew the doors off the Lakers 121-93. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
