After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Celtics 101-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
