After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Celtics 100-95. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
