After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Nets 114-96. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
