After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nets 102-94. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
