After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Celtics 100-98. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
