After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics fended off the Nets 108-100. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · 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.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
