After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Celtics 108-107. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
