After Action Report
The Celtics shocked the Nets 121-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
