After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics blew the doors off the Jazz 114-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
