After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Nets 97-83. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
