After Action Report
The Nets stunned the Celtics 101-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
