After Action Report

The Nets edged the Celtics 127-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
