After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Nets 134-118. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
