After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics demolished the 76ers 142-119. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
