After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 131-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
