After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 128-103. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. 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. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
