After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Heat 118-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
