After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 120-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. 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. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
