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.
