After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Warriors 129-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
