After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Nets 134-131 in overtime. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
