After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Nets 126-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
