After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Celtics 101-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
