After Action Report
The Nets handled the Celtics 116-97. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
