After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Jazz 111-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
