After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Magic 113-86. Celtics' offense had its way with the Magic. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
