After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Celtics 111-94. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
