After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Nets 125-121. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
