After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Nets 112-108. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
