After Action Report

The Celtics held off the Jazz 130-121. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
