After Action Report

The Celtics snuck past the Nets 114-113. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
