After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Celtics pulled away from the Lakers 108-98. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
