After Action Report

The Celtics squeaked past the Nets 104-101. Every possession went the Celtics way. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
