After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Heat 121-98. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
