After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Celtics 122-113. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
