After Action Report
The Nets shocked the Celtics 114-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. 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.
