After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Lakers 138-110. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
