After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Nets 115-80. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
