After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Nets 111-101. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
