After Action Report
The Nets stunned the Celtics 103-84. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
