After Action Report

The Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 149-127. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
