After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets outlasted the Celtics 127-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
