After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Celtics 119-116. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
