After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Nets 108-100. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
