After Action Report

The Nets survived the Celtics 108-106. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
