After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nets 106-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
