After Action Report
The Nets edged the Celtics 120-113. Nets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. 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. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
