After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Nets 114-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
