After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Clippers 116-88. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
