After Action Report
In Boston, the Nets snuck past the Celtics 114-112 in overtime. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
