After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Cavaliers 128-100. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
