After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Clippers 111-79. Celtics torched the Clippers on the offensive end. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
