After Action Report
In Memphis, the Celtics rolled past the Grizzlies 122-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
