After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Celtics 120-70. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
