After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets snuck past the Celtics 111-108. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
