After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Magic 116-84. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. 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.
