After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Celtics 124-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
