After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Lakers 138-110. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered 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.
