After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Heat 129-87. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
