After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Nets 113-112. Celtics' offense had its way with the Nets. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
