After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets held off the Celtics 128-122. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
