After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nets 121-94. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
