After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Nets 124-99. Celtics' offense had its way with the Nets. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
