After Action Report
The Nets knocked off the Celtics 109-107. Every possession went the Nets way. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
