After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Jazz 127-96. Celtics torched the Jazz on the offensive end. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; 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.
