After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Suns 131-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
