After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 130-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
