After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nets 124-87. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
