After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets demolished the Celtics 115-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
