After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Nets 113-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
