After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Nets 126-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
