After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Jazz 108-90. Celtics' stops on the defensive end set the tone. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
