After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Celtics 130-89. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
