After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Timberwolves 118-104. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
