After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nets 130-102. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
