After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Nets 107-106. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
