After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Bulls 136-95. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
