After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Nets 107-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
