After Action Report
The Warriors blew the doors off the Celtics 111-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
