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.
