After Action Report
The Celtics upended the Bobcats 121-116. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
