After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Mavericks 110-99. Celtics' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
