After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Lakers 121-111. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
