After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Celtics 130-65. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
