After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Bobcats 122-96. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
