After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Nets 106-102. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
