After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Jazz 112-78. Celtics' stops on the defensive end set the tone. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 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.
