After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Celtics 93-88. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
