After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Nets 101-94. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
