After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Nets 112-98. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
