After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Nets 121-97. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
