After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Jazz 131-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
