After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nets 123-99. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
