After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Mavericks 142-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
