After Action Report
The Nets knocked off the Celtics 117-113. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
