After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nets 118-96. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
