After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nets 124-92. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
