After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics buried the Bulls 144-109. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
