After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Bobcats 110-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' positional balance gave them a synergy edge; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
