After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Celtics 112-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets sent shots into the fifth row all night; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Nets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
