After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Celtics took care of the Timberwolves 119-109. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
