After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 117-96. Celtics torched the Nets on the offensive end. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
