After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Celtics 101-99. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
