After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nets 122-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
