After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Nets 100-83. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
