After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Cavaliers 116-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
