After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Lakers 147-113. Celtics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
