After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Celtics 143-113. Nets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
