After Action Report
The Nets held off the Celtics 111-105. Every possession went the Nets way. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
