After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Grizzlies 100-85. Celtics' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
