After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Celtics took care of the Nets 104-94. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
