After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Nets 125-113. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
