After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Nets 100-87. Celtics' offense had its way with the Nets. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
