After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 118-94. Nets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
