After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nets 118-87. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
