After Action Report

In Golden State, the Celtics took care of the Warriors 115-104. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
