After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics stunned the Nets 116-111. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
