After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 107-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
