After Action Report
In Boston, the Nets outlasted the Celtics 103-95. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
