After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nets 106-100. Celtics torched the Nets on the offensive end. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
