After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Lakers 124-108. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
