After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nets 105-104. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
