After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 126-105. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
