After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 148-95. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
