After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 118-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
