After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nets 108-102. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
