After Action Report
In Utah, the Celtics handled the Jazz 123-104. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
