After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Nets 115-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
