After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Suns 132-100. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
