After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Nets 96-83. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
