After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 148-117. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
