After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Celtics 98-97. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
