After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Celtics 122-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
