After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Celtics fended off the Nets 105-99. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
