The Nets handled the Celtics 139-120. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
