After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Nets 129-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
