After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Nets 92-87. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
