After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Celtics squeaked past the Nets 94-90. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
