The Nets edged the Celtics 112-104. Nets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
