After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Celtics 117-98. Nets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
