After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets rolled past the Celtics 124-88. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
