After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Nets 125-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
