After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Celtics 118-93. Nets' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
