After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics demolished the Nets 116-72. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
