After Action Report

The Nets survived the Celtics 115-113 in overtime. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed.
