After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 124-86. Lineup balance gave the Nets a clear synergy edge. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
