After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Grizzlies 142-98. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
