After Action Report

The Celtics rolled past the Nets 126-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
