After Action Report
In Boston, the Mavericks rolled past the Celtics 145-113. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
