After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Nets 107-104. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
