After Action Report

The Nets squeaked past the Celtics 143-139 in double overtime. Nets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
