After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Nets 115-112. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
