After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nets 123-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
