After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Cavaliers 129-86. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
