After Action Report

The Celtics pulled away from the Nets 110-93. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
