After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nets 108-103. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
