After Action Report

The Celtics upended the Nets 111-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
