The Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 125-95. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
