After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics demolished the Grizzlies 123-98. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
