After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Nets 119-114. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
