After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nets 105-101. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
