After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Mavericks 131-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
