After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Spurs 135-115. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
