After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Cavaliers 123-89. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
