After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 115-84. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
