After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 112-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
