After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Nets 118-117. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.
What tipped it
- 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.
