After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Spurs 106-86. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
