After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Celtics 111-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
