After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Bucks 124-84. The tempo dragged the Bucks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 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. It was over by halftime.
