After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nets 105-104. Every possession went the Celtics way. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
