After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics rolled past the Warriors 119-95. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; 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. Garbage time started early.
